Nathan Sherrard won two basketball state champions, made the All-State academic team on multiple occasions and was named school valedictorian during his time high school. That’s only an abbreviated list of his accomplishments.

“Nathan’s performance on the court is exceptional, but his attitude and work ethic truly set him apart,” Mojave volleyball coach John Engel said in nominating Sherrard. “He maintains a team-first mentality that reflects his unselfish nature and genuine interest in his teammates’ success.”

Volunteering is also a big part of Sherrard’s life as he served at the Salvation Army, in the nursery of his church, at Opportunity Village and on the student council.
