Announcing the "George T. Steitz Ideal Teammate Awards"!

February 2, 2025
Today marks the official launch of the George T. Steitz Ideal Teammate Awards!

The "George T. Steitz Ideal Teammate Awards" are a tribute to Coach George Steitz in recognition for all of his efforts over the decades as a Teacher, Basketball Coach, Baseball Coach, Soccer Coach, Girls Softball Coach, Athletic Director, PHS Official as well as his summer efforts in teaching the youth of Penfield to swim.

Penfield High School's Educational Foundation has officially expanded the teammate award that was already in Coach Steitz's name to now include all Boys and Girls Varsity Teams becoming effective for the 2025-2026 school year. Many thanks to the efforts and perseverance of Mike Glor for leading this effort!

How it works (briefly):

Each Varsity Team chooses an Ideal Teammate to receive an award of $500.

From this group an overall Boys winner and an overall Girls winner will be chosen by a committee organized at the high school to be awarded the All Varsity "George T. Steitz Ideal Teammate Award"  with an additional $2,000 grant.
