Starmount High School was a recipient of the education-based athletics grant for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 cycles. Grant funds were used to expand and upgrade weight room equipment, and purchase additional equipment such as new weights, racks, and benches. Some grant money was also put toward ordering new basketballs for players to use. These upgrades have allowed more students to work out more efficiently with plenty of space and give them a much safer experience.

The Clary Medal is made possible through the generosity of the Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Family Foundation and annually recognizes an outstanding male and female varsity student-athlete participating in varsity competition in at least two NCHSAA-sanctioned teams. The award is based on each individual’s excellence in athletic participation, extra-curricular activities, and community service, exhibiting a desire to excel in all areas of life – athletics, education, sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, honesty, and integrity. The Wilburn Clary Medal was first awarded in 2006 and is dedicated to Wilburn Clary. Clary’s athletic career involved coaching, officiating, and administration. He coached several sports at the Methodist Children’s Home for almost 30 years, was an outstanding high school and collegiate official, and served as the executive secretary of the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association from 1949 until 1977 when the organization merged with the NCHSAA.
