McIntosh Celebrates Academic Athletes and Coach of the Month

At McIntosh High School, success isn’t just measured on the scoreboard—it’s also about excellence in the classroom, leadership on campus, and character in the community. Each month, the school recognizes students and staff who exemplify what it means to be a well-rounded contributor to the McIntosh tradition. For the month of September, two standout student-athletes and one dedicated coach have earned recognition for their achievements both on and off the field.

Grace Aerstin

Softball – Academic Athlete of the Month
“Along with Grace’s tremendous accomplishments on the field (.614 avg., 27 hits, 21 stolen bases, .707 OBP), Grace has carried all A’s for the first 4 1/2 weeks of school as well. She is a phenomenal example of what we want a Lady Chief Softball Player and McIntosh Student Athlete to exhibit!” – Coach Nick Pou

Abagail Williams
