Three Comal ISD students were recently named “Tim Duncan Character” award winners.

Spring Branch Middle student Heather Cordy, Canyon Middle student Citlally Barahona and Canyon Lake High student Marli Elrod-Davis all received an award certificate and a T-shirt and other prizes.

Teachers nominate students who model self-initiated character traits. Winners also received notebooks, pen and pencil sets, calculators, lunch bags, assignment pads, certificates, and San Antonio Spurs tickets.

A selection committee comprised of representatives from the Tim Duncan Foundation, the Spurs Foundation and the San Antonio Spurs chooses Tim Duncan’s Character Award winners from San Antonio-area schools.

Elrod-Davis was nominated by CLHS teacher Keitha St. Clair, Cordy was nominated by SBMS band director Chelsy Merrill, and Barahona was nominated by CMS teacher Christie Krull.
