Academic Achievement Awards

Athlete of Distinction Award

NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Award

NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Team Recognition

To receive NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA, for 75% of the roster, must be greater than or equal to 90.00. This means you take 75% of your roster and then average their GPAs. Any GPA can be included, but if it is below a 90, they will not receive a pin. If a team does not meet the Scholar-Athlete Team Criteria, the individuals on that team with a 90.00 or above GPA are still eligible to receive a pin and will be considered an Individual Scholar-Athlete.
