Cascade High School Athletic Director honored

Doug Kloke, of CascadeHigh School, was awarded the

Athletic

Director's Service Award

at last week's Washington Secondary

School Athletic Administrators Association (WSSAAA)

conference. The annual service award recognizes ADs who

have made a significant contribution to school, league, regional

or state athletics in any one year. The award is designed to

recognize hard working ADs for doing outstanding work during

any given year and to do so long before retirement.

In his nomination of Kloke, Robert Polk, the district athletics

health/fitness and activities director said, "Doug has been

instrumental in building athletic programs that promote the

student-athlete and breed success for the students at Cascade

High School and before that at Vashon High School. He is a

model person who leads by example with grace and dignity. All

who work with Doug grow as individuals and become better in

the work they do."

Recently Kloke did extensive work on sportsmanship which

helped the Western High School Athletic Conference (WesCo)

form new policies to promote sportsmanship. WesCo's members

include western Washingtondistricts as far north as

OakHarborand south through Shoreline. Kloke was invited to

present his sportsmanship project at the 2007 WSSAAA

conference in Spokane where he received his award.
