Two Choctawhatchee High School student athletes were surprised with scholastic honors at the school’s Winter Pep Rally on Thursday.

Senior Titus Thornell and senior Lauren Bage were named the 2024 male and female Scholastic Winners by the All Sports Association in front of the entire student body.

Members of the association highlighted the students’ athletic and academic achievements.

Thornell, who ranks 21 out of 339 students in his graduating class, holds a weighted 4.34 GPA. He earned All-State honors with a fourth place finish in the state weightlifting championships and was part of the school’s 2023 Traditional State Champion weightlifting team.

He also contributed to Choctaw’s 2023 football District Championship and Elite 8 appearance in 2022. His academic accolades include being named an Anne T. Mitchell Award Scholar from 2021-2023.

Bage is currently ranked fifth in her class, holding a 4.61 weighted GPA. The multi-sport athlete helped lead the flag football team to back-to-back state championship appearances and individually earned the 2023 Defensive MVP award.

In cross country, Bage was a 2022 State Qualifier and 2022, 2023 Regional Qualifier. Her academic honors include being named an Anne T. Mitchell Award Scholar, serving as the 2023 Vice President of the National Honor Society and being an International Baccalaureate Diploma Candidate.

Both winners have committed themselves to serving the community. Thornell volunteers with the girls weightlifting team and at Beachside Community Church, while Bage participated in a Rotary Club youth leadership program, captains the cross country team, and volunteers at Children in Crisis.
