The Copiague School District takes great pride in its students and all of their achievements in the classroom and on the playing field. To award its athletically and academically inclined students, Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School created the Golden Eagle Award. At the conclusion of every athletic season, the top scholar-athlete on each sports team for the quarter is presented with this award.

The district congratulates the winners of the prestigious Golden Eagle Award for the Fall 2013 athletic season.
