State Scholar Athlete Honors Awarded to Blue Devils
May 10, 2024
Dozens of Huntington High School spring season varsity athletes have captured New York State Scholar Athlete Award honors after maintaining academic grade averages of 90 or better during their sport season.
Nine individual Huntington spring season varsity squads claimed state scholar athlete team recognition, including Unified basketball, girls’ track and field, boys’ tennis, softball, baseball, girls’ lacrosse, boys’ lacrosse, girls’ badminton and girls’ golf.
To receive team recognition, the team’s average GPA for 75 percent of the roster must be equal to or greater than 90.00. Higher athlete GPAs can be used offset lower ones. However, only students with a 90 or above receive scholar athlete pins, even if a student with a lower GPA was used in the calculation.
