Shawn Holmes and Kara Triplett, board member for MHSA Class C Schools, during the award presentation on Monday, Jan. 20.
Seeley-Swan High School's Principal and Athletic Director Shawn Holmes was presented with an award from the Montana High School Association in recognition of his service to the organization.
Holmes said the recognition extends beyond him and to all the people that have helped him put on various MHSA events, like districts, divisional or state tournaments. These are optional for districts to host, but as a Class C school part of a larger district - Missoula Public Schools - Seeley-Swan High School is able to provide other Class C schools with specialized facilities for which they might not otherwise have access.
With track and field, Holmes and SSHS have hosted tournaments, which allowed Class C schools to use the track facilities at Big Sky High School in Missoula. And with golf, the schools had access to the Double Arrow Lodge's golf course.
"Not many of them (Class C schools) have that," Holmes said, referring to the golf and track facilities.
Holmes has been coaching at Seeley-Swan High School since 1995 and has served as the athletic director since 2002.
