Twelve of the fall sports teams at Queensbury High School have been named 2024 Scholar-Athlete teams, and 140 Spartans have been individually given Scholar-Athlete status.
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association recognized 4,093 Scholar-Athlete teams this fall. To qualify as a team, 75% of a team’s average GPA for the season must be equal to or greater than 90%. Additionally, 52,547 students received individual scholar-athlete recognition by earning an individual average of 90 or above this season, whether their team qualified or not.
Each category experienced growth in the number of student-athletes earning Scholar-Athlete recognition, with fall 2024 figures surpassing fall 2023 by nearly 100 teams and approximately 1,000 individual athletes.
“Congratulations to the fall teams and student-athletes recognized as Scholar-Athletes,” said NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas. “It is remarkable that over 52,000 student-athletes have excelled academically while dedicating themselves to their fall sports and teammates. NYSPHSAA is proud to celebrate these outstanding achievements.”
