Softball player Sophie Martins was chosen as the Campus Athlete of the Month for April.

Martins was an honorable mention all-league pitcher in 2019 and also excelled in the classroom. “I would say that Campus High School is a part of a progressive school district allowing everyone to explore their talents with a caring, nurturing, small town feel,” Martins said. “Over time it has allowed me to grow personally, academically, and athletically, helping me establish my further goals and career path.”

Martins had a simple answer when asked what benefits Campus has over other school districts. “A personal touch and a family style caring environment,” Martins said.

Getting back on the diamond is something that has Martins excited about the conclusion of her time at Campus. “I can’t stop smiling,” Martins said. “It is hard to fully describe my feeling; it’s next level joy and excitement.”

Martins is also a part of the girls golf program, as well as Link Crew, SITE Council, Student Council, the International Baccalaureate Program, is the Student Body Vice President and is a Youth Entrepreneurs of Kansas alum.

Next year, Martins is going to play softball at Newman, while majoring in sociology/pre-law.
