For Winter 2023, NYSPHSAA recognized 3,010 Scholar-Athlete teams and 34,565 individuals. A total of 595 schools across the state participated in the Scholar-Athlete program which honors schools each of the seasons there is interscholastic competition. Approximately 75% of the NYSPHSAA membership participated in the Winter Scholar-Athlete program.

“The student-athletes continue to amaze with the great work they do in the classroom each and every day, said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “The Scholar-Athlete program shows how hard our student-athletes work on their studies, while also balancing the time they put into their athletic activities. These young men and women are remarkable and deserve to be highlighted.”
