On Saturday, June 27, 2026, the Center of Excellence and Education through Sport (CEES) hosted the second edition of the CEES Rising Talents ceremony at the Grand Case Beach Club, an event that has become a staple in the institutional calendar of the Performance Pathway Hub.
This ceremony brought together student-athletes from the Territorial Sports Centers (CST), their families, coaching staff, institutional representatives, and CEES partners around a common goal: to celebrate excellence in all its forms.
Through this event, CEES aimed to honor young people who stand out for their commitment, perseverance, and achievements, both in sports and academically and civically. This recognition is fully aligned with CEES's mission to support the youth of Saint-Martin towards success and personal growth through sport.
The 2026 edition recognized student-athletes with four awards:
- Academic Excellence, recognizing students' academic results, attendance, and progress;
- Athletic Excellence, rewarding performance, commitment to training, and athletic development;
- Civic Excellence, distinguishing exemplary behavior, team spirit, and a sense of responsibility;
- Top of the Class, an award given to student-athletes who best embody the balance between academic success, athletic commitment, and exemplary citizenship.
The award winners were selected by the technical teams of the various Territorial Sports Centers, based on criteria defined by each discipline, ensuring a fair and representative evaluation of the year's talents.
Beyond the presentation of awards, this ceremony served as a reminder of the importance of the collective work carried out throughout the year with young athletes in the region. It reflects CEES's ambition to develop accomplished citizens capable of balancing performance, education, and commitment.
The Center for Excellence and Education through Sport extends its most sincere thanks to the Collectivity of Saint-Martin, its institutional, public, and private partners, schools, coaches, coordinators, volunteers, and all individuals who work daily for the success of this initiative. CEES also congratulates all student-athletes for their exemplary commitment and their contribution to promoting sport and excellence in the territory of Saint-Martin.
