Endowed scholarship named for Adams

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association's board of directors has named a new endowed scholarship after Charlie Adams, the executive director of the association since 1984. The NCHSAA plans to offer two scholarships. One will go to a male wrestler in memory of Adams' son Scott, and another will go to a female cross country runner in honor of his daughter Michelle. Although fundraising will determine the amount awarded, the NCHSAA hopes to award two $1,500 scholarships annually.

Adams has been on the NCHSAA staff since 1967 and is one of the longest-tenured executive directors in association work in the country, taking over that role in 1984. He is only the fifth executive director in the 95-year history of the NCHSAA.

He is a 1991 inductee into the East Carolina University Sports Hall of Fame and a charter member of the Cary High School Athletic Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the North Carolina Athletic Directors Hall of Fame, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame and the National High School Sports Hall of Fame.

Adams was inducted into the NCHSAA Hall of Fame in April. He is the only North Carolinian ever to serve as president of the National Federation of State High School Associations.
