February 23, 2026 – The Amarillo High SODA (Student Organ Donation Advocates) Club educated or registered more organ, eye and tissue donors than any other college or high school club in the state, earning top honors in the 2025 SODA Campus Challenge. Donate Life Texas Executive Director Chad Carroll presented the group with a trophy in recognition of the honor.

AHS SODA Club President Hayden Brillhart says being the top club in Texas shows how eager students are to be involved not only in their school, but in the community. “It means a lot, not only for how much our chapter has done, but how much support we’ve received from our school and the District,” said Hayden. “To be able to bet out all of the college campuses, too, that’s a big deal.”
