HHS Announced 2018 Winter Varsity Scholar-Athletes and Teams
Eight of ten Harrison High School Varsity Athletic Teams and 133 athletes have earned the NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Distinction

Congratulations to the following teams and students who achieved New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Scholar-Athlete distinction for the 2018 Winter season. Last year, NYSPHSAA altered the qualifications, where by 75% of a total team’s members must have a 90% or above to earn the Scholar-Athlete Team distinction. However, NYSPHSAA broadened their parameters so that even if a team’s total missed the 90% mark, all athletes who have earned this academic achievement will earn the designation of Scholar-Athlete.
Eight of the ten Varsity teams were recognized and 133 student-athletes received pins for achieving a 90% or higher during the fall marking period.
