KATY, TX [December 18, 2024] – Hundreds of our phenomenal student-athletes have scored big, earning a place on the Texas High School Coaches Association Academic All-State list for fall sports. From dominating in cross country, football, team tennis, and volleyball to excelling in the classroom, these champions prove they’ve got what it takes.
To earn the honor, a student must be a senior student-athlete, trainer, or manager in good standing with their respective team; display good moral character; and have an overall grade point average (GPA) of 92 or higher. Students’ class rank and scores on the SAT and/or ACT are also considered. Each student receives points for their academic achievement, which determines what team they make. Students who earn placement on the Elite team receive nearly perfect scores in all categories.
“These student-athletes have proven themselves not just in their respective sport but also as scholars,” said Lance Carter, Executive Director of Athletics in Katy ISD. “Congratulations to them all for distinguishing themselves in the classroom and on their field of play.”
