On 11/12/25 a group of Hartford students selected by their coaches had the opportunity to attend the MHSAA Sportsmanship Summit held in Kalamazoo at the Radisson plaza.
Students were engaged in sessions with other students from the Southwest Michigan Area. Students were able to voice their own concerns with the rise of unsportsmanlike conduct in the stands as well as work on ways to improve sportsmanship within their own communities.
One of the sessions was developed and instructed by the MHSAA student Advisory Council members, of which Hartford's own Mason Mireles is a part of.
