At the end of each sports season, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) honors teams and individuals who shine in the classroom.
For the 2022-23 Winter sports seasons, five Westmoreland varsity sports teams were named “Scholar-Athlete” teams by the NYSPHSAA – Girls Varsity Basketball, Girls Varsity Volleyball, Boys Varsity Basketball, Boys Varsity Volleyball, and Co-Ed Varsity Indoor Track.
To be recognized as a “Scholar-Athlete” team, a team’s average GPA for 75 percent of its roster must be greater than or equal to 90.0. If a team does not meet the “Scholar-Athlete” team criteria, each individual on the team with a 90.0 or above GPA is recognized as an “Individual Scholar-Athlete.”
