About the award
The Carol Feltz Bluhm ’80 Award recognizes educators who go above and beyond their everyday responsibilities during the school year by serving as a coach or moderator of an OSAA-sanctioned activity. Consideration is given to those who embody the mission of Lasallian education and act with integrity, respect, responsibility, servant leadership, and sportsmanship. Carol - herself a standout athlete at La Salle - appreciated the teachers who coached her. She admired their dedication and commitment to the development of student-athletes.
