CBA student-athletes earned the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s Scholar-Athlete School of Distinction Award for the 2024-25 school year.
To earn this prestigious award, all 26 varsity teams achieved a cumulative GPA of 90 percent or higher during their sports seasons. Only 10 of 110 schools in Section III earned this award.
“We are so very proud of all of our student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the playing field,” said Director of Athletics Buddy Wleklinski.
Established in the 1991–92 school year, NYSPHSAA’s Scholar-Athlete Team Award has a proud tradition of honoring academic achievement among student-athletes. The School of Distinction Award, introduced in 2002–03, and the School of Excellence Award, launched in 2016–17, further celebrate schools that exemplify a commitment to success in the classroom while balancing the demands of athletic participation. Together, these honors showcase the dedication, discipline, and excellence demonstrated by students and school communities across New York State.
