Many Fox Chapel Area High School students go over and above the norm in their pursuit of excellence in athletics. Hundreds of them also put that same determination into their scholastic efforts and are standouts in the classroom.
Each year the Athletic Department issues a Scholar Athlete Award to student-athletes who have achieved substantial academic achievements. One award is issued to the varsity team with the best weighted QPA, while the other honors individual success.
For the 2013-2014 school year, the 15-member boys’ varsity tennis squad won the team honor with a weighted GPA of 4.16. In addition, 314 individual varsity level players also earned a Scholar Athlete Award.
To qualify for a Scholar Athlete Award, student-athletes must maintain a 3.5 GPA or better for three consecutive grading periods during the same school year.
Congratulations to all and keep up the good work!
