CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThe Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference recently named its scholar athletes of the year.

The CASCIAC Scholar-Athlete Program annually recognizes two high school seniors — one boy and one girl — from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage.
