Congratulations to the varsity sports teams at High School East and High School West on being recognized for their prowess in the classroom!
Both high schools have been recognized as a “School of Excellence” by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
To apply for the School of Excellence Award, 75% of a school’s varsity teams must qualify and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award.
“The School of Excellence and School of Distinction Awards exemplify the mission of NYSPHSAA, education through interscholastic athletics,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “It is amazing to see the commitment to academic excellence from the schools, administrators, coaches, and student-athletes.”
Overall there are more than 60 varsity teams at High School East and West.
