Banner Unified Champion Schools
To achieve National Banner Recognition Status, schools must incorporate and sustain 10 standards, including: Unified Sports (where students with and without disabilities train and compete as teammates), Inclusive Youth Leadership and Whole-School Engagement. Banner Unified Champion Schools should also be able to demonstrate being self-sustainable, a plan in place to sustain these activities into the future. Once your school achieves this status, not only is your school recognized on the Special Olympics International website, you also get an awesome pep rally and are awarded a gym-sized banner to celebrate your outstanding achievements!
