ExCEL - Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership - is a unique recognition program designed
exclusively for Minnesota high school juniors who are active in school activities, who show Leadership
qualities, and who volunteer in their communities.
Every member school of the League is invited to nominate one girl and one boy for the ExCEL Award.
Nominees must:
a. be a junior in high school
b. make satisfactory progress toward graduation requirements
c. participate in a MSHSL fine arts and/or athletic activity
d. hold a leadership position(s) in their school
e. work voluntarily in their community.
The ExCEL nomination form is posted on this website and will be accepted through December 14, 2012. An independent panel
of judges from schools throughout Minnesota will select ExCEL Award recipients in January. ExCEL winners will be recognized
on KSTC-TV (Channel 45) during the broadcast of the 2013 winter tournaments.
This is the 17th year that the Minnesota State High School League has sponsored the ExCEL Award. We're counting on YOU to
help us recognize student leaders in your school who are making a difference. Please take the time to complete the nomination
form posted on this website. Award winners will be announced via the League website on February 1, 2013.
