The President's Council has teamed up with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) to improve strength programs and gym conditions in high schools across the country. Schools that earn the Strength of America Award 
have demonstrated excellence in the implementation of safe and effective strength and conditioning programs. Past winners are available on the NSCA website. For more information on how to apply for the Strength of America award, contact NSCA. Applications for the award must be received by May 15th.
