The New York State Public High School Athletic Association's (NYSPHAA) Scholar-Athlete Team Award Program has been created to recognize outstanding scholastic achievement by varsity-level student-athletes. At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHAA honors those teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. They deserve to be recognized for all their hard work and dedication to their academic success.
To receive a Scholar-Athlete team recognition certificate the team's GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than 90%. Individuals will be awarded Scholar-Athlete status if their GPA is 90% or higher during the sports season.
This Fall the Candor Varsity Volleyball team qualified with a team GPA of 96% and had 7 Individual Scholar-Athletes. The SVEC Boys Soccer team qualified with a team GPA of 95% with 12 Individual Scholar-Athletes. The SVEC Girls Soccer team qualified with a team GPA of 95% with 11 Individual Scholar-Athletes. The SVEC Boys Cross Country qualified with a team GPA of 93% with 8 Individual Scholar-Athletes. The SVEC Girls Cross Country qualified with a team GPA of 92% with 8 Individual Scholar-Athletes. The SVEC Football team and SVEC Field Hockey team also qualified for NYSPHAA Scholar-Athlete team awards.
Congratulations to all of our teams, athletes & coaches! Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our CCS/SVEC programs!
