Background Information:

Following the end of each of the fall, winter, and spring interscholastic sports seasons, the Board of Education of Harford County honors those individual Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) student-athletes and teams that have won Maryland Public Athletic Association (MPSSAA) championships by inviting them to attend a subsequent Board meeting to be honored. In addition, those teams that have been named by the Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference (UCBAC) as winners of the Sportsmanship award receive plaques from the UCBAC and a certificate from the Board.
