Ansley Hamer and Jim Carr of Dillon Christian School were recently named School Winners for the nationally-recognized Wendy’s High School Heisman Award.

Hamer and Carr were selected based on their outstanding academic and athletic achievements, and leadership within their community. All students selected as School Winners moved on to the next stage of the program for the chance to be named State Finalists, and for the continued consideration of the National Winner award.

On November 3, Wendy’s announced that Hamer and Carr were named as two of the State Finalists. They were chosen from 200 applicants and represent the only school in South Carolina with both a male and female winner.

“We are honored to have two of our students recognized as some of the country’s top student-athletes through this prestigious award,” said Mrs. Amanda Mussman, DCS Head of School.

For 20 years, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award has recognized the achievements of exceptionally well-rounded students. Like the collegiate Heisman Memorial Trophy, known as the highest award in college football, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program honors the all-star performances of high school seniors in the classroom.
