Carl W. Johnson Challenge Award (Click here for application) – Carl went home to be with the Lord on May 3, 2000 after a long and valiant fight with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Carl was born on 26 August 1968. He graduated from Flatonia High School in 1986. He completed his freshman and sophomore years at Southwest Texas State University before his disease undermined his mobility. Carl was very proud of his one half Native American heritage. Carl was a gift to our family. When family and friends reflect on distinctive and distinguishing characteristics Carl possessed and carried in his day-to-day life, a common thread appears. Some words that continuously appear are: bravery, perseverance, patience, positive and kindness. But the phrase that everybody contributed was: I never heard Carl complain or ask “why me”. Though disease seized his physical body, it could not touch his spirit. Carl knew his time was short. He told his parents, don’t worry about me. I know where I’m going, remember the happy times… We, as a family strive to not weep because he’s gone, but to smile because his life happened and we were a part of it. In our effort to celebrate his life, we created this award because of the acceptance the Flatonia community gave Carl and family. The attributes of a small town are sometimes overlooked or undervalued. But the townspeople and in particular Flatonia High School embraced Carl in everything he endeavored. During the 1985-1986 Flatonia Bulldog All-Sports Banquet, for the first time, an award was presented to the most dedicated and loved fan, Carl Johnson, for which he received a standing ovation. It is for these reasons we offer the Carl W. Johnson Challenge Award to deserving students of Flatonia High School. As graduating seniors, it is our wish that you reach for the stars. And maybe, through bravery, perseverance, patience and kindness you will succeed. That’s what Carl would want.
Include two letters of recommendation, transcript and please discuss how you have overcome life challenges in your essay. Must be received by March 3, 2026 and mail to: Robert W. Johnson, Carl W. Johnson Challenge Award, 7311 Sound Drive, Emerald Isle, NC 28594.
