Four Sidney Central School District teams were honored as scholar-athlete teams by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) for the fall sports season.
To be recognized as a team, 75 percent or more of the team members must be at or above 90 percent and the overall team GPA had to be at or above 90 percent.
The teams recognized were field hockey (95.3), girls soccer (95.2), cross country (93.1), and golf (92.1). Individuals on other sports teams who earned GPAs of 90 or above were also recognized as scholar athletes, as well the Midstate Athletic Conference scholar-athletes, which is the top GPA on each individual team.
