A Champion FOR LIFE

As the Eagles’ starting quarterback, Casey accounted for a pair of touchdowns and rushed for more than 100 yards as St. Ed’s claimed its second consecutive state title and third in the last five years. The penultimate achievement capped off an incredible season for the Eagles, who finished with a record of 15-1 and were ranked No. 20 in the nation.

The definition of a well-rounded student-athlete, Casey carries a 4.52 GPA with all honors and AP classes, is the vice president of his class, and is a member of the National Honor Society. The high school junior is proud to say that his roots began many years ago as a preschooler at Old Trail School.

“Old Trail was a community and environment that pushed me to be the best version of myself,” Casey said. “I was always surrounded by hard workers, which motivated me to work even harder. Through athletics at Old Trail, I learned the importance of teamwork and selflessness. I also learned that talent isn’t what drives a team to success; it’s the bond between the players that matters the most. I will never forget winning the basketball championship at OTS in eighth grade.”

In all, Casey attended Old Trail for 11 years, and for those who knew him, his success on and off the field comes as little surprise. Always a star athlete and exceptional scholar, Casey was presented the Headmaster’s Spirit Award upon graduation, a prestigious honor given annually to the student who best embodies Old Trail’s four core values of Respect, Responsibility, Goodness and Service.

“Old Trail set me up for success socially, academically and athletically,” he said. “I formed relationships there that will last forever. The Old Trail students and teachers are people I can trust and am thankful for. The school shaped me to be the person I am today, and I would not be where I am today without Old Trail.”
