The New York State Public High School Athletic Association recognized the 2025 – 2026 Champions in the Classroom Schools of Distinction and Excellence. For the second year in a row Bolton Central School District was recognized as a School of Distinction for the 2025 – 2026 school year! To be recognized as a School of Distinction, a school must apply for the honor and have 100% of its varsity teams earn the Scholar-Athlete Team Award during their respective sports seasons.
"The commitment demonstrated by our member schools to academic excellence continues to be one of the greatest strengths of educational-based athletics," said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. "These awards recognize entire school communities that value success in the classroom as much as success in competition."
Congratulations to all our student- athletes who are clearly strong on the field AND in the classroom! We would also like to thank the coaches, advisors, teachers, families and the community who support our student-athletes in so many ways!
