About Us

 

In addition to sports training, Special Olympics expanded to include educational programs that empower students to foster a socially inclusive school culture emphasizing acceptance, respect and human dignity.  This initiative was launched in 2008 as Project Unify but is now called Unified Champion Schools (UCS). 

​

Special Olympics Oklahoma recognized Edmond North as leaders and agents of change by meeting three major goals of the UCS mission. The criteria for becoming a Unified Champion School was comprised of three Unified Strategy components involving Unified Sports, Student Leadership and School-wide Awareness.  Edmond North accomplished those goals and was awarded the UCS title and a financial grant by Special Olympics Oklahoma in 2017.
