Every week during the school year, The Palm Beach Post shines a spotlight on the outstanding student-athletes who make Palm Beach County one of Florida's premier high school sports communities.
From Friday night football heroes and clutch volleyball performers to record-breaking swimmers, golfers and basketball standouts, our Athlete of the Week program celebrates the athletes delivering memorable performances across FHSAA and SSAA competition.
Each Monday, our staff selects the top boys and girls candidates based on achievements from the previous week, and then the decision is placed in your hands.
Voting opens every Monday, giving fans, classmates, coaches, family members and communities the opportunity to support the athletes who represent their
schools.
Check back throughout the season for this week's poll, cast your vote and browse previous winners to relive some of the year's best performances from Palm Beach County high school sports.
