All Bellmore-Merrick Teams Earn Scholar Athlete Status

To earn the distinction, teams must have high GPAs.

Every athletic squad in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District has been declared a Scholar Athlete team for the fall 2016 season by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

To earn this distinction, teams must earn a 90 percent grade-point average or higher.

“Student-athletes in Bellmore-Merrick continue their commitment to academics, as well as athletics,” said Eric Caballero, director of physical education, athletics, driver’s education and health. “They work hard at maintaining a precise balance to help them excel at both.”
