Ballers in the classroom

El Camino honored more than 100 student-athletes for 2015-16 as members of the national Scholar-Baller organization according to the Public Relations and Marketing Department.

Scholar-Baller recognizes students who demonstrate dedication on the field, court, pool and classroom. For the Scholar-Baller program, student-athletes qualify for recognition by achieving a 3.0 grade point average or higher according to the El Camino website.

“I’m surprised (about being a scholar baller),” Tessy Beth-Iwuh, sophomore outside hitter for the women’s volleyball team, said. “But I worked really hard in school because (the coaches) tell us to always go to class, sit in the front, pay attention and never slack.”
