Plainview-Old Bethpage Fall Varsity Teams Honored by NYSPHSAA

Plainview, N.Y. —The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s John F. Kennedy High School recently announced that every fall interscholastic varsity athletic team was awarded the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s (NYSPHSAA) Scholar-Athlete Team Award. The award recognizes teams where 75% of the roster earn a cumulative team GPA of 90 or above.

In addition to the group’s academic success, 75% of all varsity student athletes received the NYSPHSAA Individual Scholar Athlete Award. This award is given to any varsity student athlete who has individually achieved a GPA of 90 or above.

“These awards are a remarkable achievement for our interscholastic athletic teams and demonstrate a true commitment to education from our student athletes, coaches, teachers and staff,” said Dr. Lorna Lewis, Superintendent of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District.

The NYSPHSAA is a non-profit, voluntary, educational service organization composed of public, parochial, and private schools dedicated to providing equitable and safe competition for the students of its member schools.
