CMA’S Tullis chosen
INDIANAPOLIS - Culver Academy’s Sam Tullis was one of 12 seniors statewide honored with the 2022 IHSAA/C. Eugene Cato Memorial Scholarship.
Two females and two males from the three IHSAA districts will each receive a $2,500 scholarship for their prep accomplishments and be recognized at this year’s Thomas A. Brady Sports Achievement Awards Dinner established by Forté Sports Medicine, on June 2, 2022.
These well-rounded, positive role models have demonstrated excellence in academics, school and community involvement, character, sportsmanship, and citizenship.
Tullis is a three-sport varsity athlete, competing in cross country, swimming & diving, and track & field in each of his four years. He served as team captain in both cross country and track during his senior year. Tullis has participated in multiple triathlons representing Team USA and was 2021 USA Triathlon National Champion. In the classroom, he has earned a 3.91 unweighted GPA. Unlike the average high school student, he spends extra time completing the various duties that come along with attending a military school. Those range from cleaning and inspecting rooms to participating in parade and drill formation numerous times a month. There may also be other various meetings, training events, and tasks given to each Culver Cadet throughout their time at the academy. Tullis is a member of the Culver Robotics Club, Culver Leadership Committee, Honor Council, and Honor Guard. He created and implemented the New Cadet Feedback System, which works to provide weekly feedback to new cadets, helping them identify strengths and weaknesses and how they can improve moving forward. He holds numerous leadership positions throughout the academy and is currently Regimental Commander, the highest-ranking position in the school. Tullis will be attending the University of Chicago to study neuroscience and run cross country and track & field.
