St. Thomas Aquinas' Chase Carroll is the Broward Boys' Scholar-Athlete of the Year
As usual, there was no shortage of great athletes this past school year at St. Thomas Aquinas.
But few maintained the balance of success in the classroom and on the field like senior Chase Carroll did.
Carroll, a standout on the boys' soccer team, helped the Raiders continue to keep their place among Broward's best while excelling academically.
He led St. Thomas Aquinas to the regional finals in Class 6A, which was the best finish in that class among Broward schools while maintaining a 5.4 GPA and earning the chance to attend MIT.
As such, Carroll is the Miami Herald's Boys' Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Broward County.
Carroll, a forward, was a versatile contributor on an Aquinas squad, which came up one win short of returning to state for the second time in three seasons.
Carroll scored 11 goals and had 12 assists, helping him earn first team All-Broward honors in soccer.
But off the field, Carroll was even more impressive.
In addition to his GPA, Carroll scored a 1580 on his SAT and a 34 on the ACT, and took multiple dual enrollment college and advanced placement courses.
During his high school years, Carroll became a member of several National Honor Societies, made the Principal's Honor roll and was a National Merit Finalist. Carroll also received the Veritas Scholarship Award, Rensselaer Medal Award, AP Scholar with Distinction, National African American Recognition Award and National Hispanic Recognition Award.
When he wasn't studying or playing soccer, Carroll was volunteering in the community. He served as a junior firefighter with City of Miami Fire Rescue and was a board member and website manager at the Fort Lauderdale International Book Fair.
