Seven of the spring sports teams at Queensbury High School have been named 2026 Scholar-Athlete teams, and 128 Spartans have been individually given Scholar-Athlete status.
To qualify as a Scholar-Athlete team, at least 75% of a team’s rosters’ average must be 90.0 or higher. Teams that qualify receive a Scholar-Athlete certificate, while individual students earning the recognition receive pins to acknowledge their accomplishments.
“Congratulations to all of the student-athletes recognized through the NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete Program," said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA executive director. “These students have demonstrated tremendous dedication and discipline by excelling in the classroom while competing in interscholastic athletics. Their accomplishments reflect the values that educational athletics strive to promote every day.”
