South Carolina High School League Scholar Athlete Awards 
Each year coaches are asked to nominate their best and brightest to the South Carolina High School league for the Scholar Athlete Awards. These students must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher on the South Carolina uniform grading scale. In addition, these students must letter in at least two sports or twice in one sport. We are pleased to present the following students with Scholar Athlete awards.
 
Criteria for nomination as set forth by SCHSL -
The League is pleased to sponsor a Scholar Athlete recognition program. The purpose of this program is to identify students in our member schools who qualify as outstanding athletes and at the same time maintain a high academic standard. Last year over 1,500 students were honored.
 
All nominees must meet the following standards: 
1.      Be a senior.
2.      Must have lettered in two sports for at least one season or in one sport for at least two seasons.
3.      Must have maintained at least a 3.5 GPA for seven semesters. 
4.      Must have exhibited outstanding citizenship and sportsmanship.
5.      Non-Competitive Cheerleaders do not qualify.
6.      It is recommended that the student letter as a Senior.
 
The Committee considers these standards to be rather stringent. It is very possible that a school in a given year will not have anyone to qualify and in another year may have several students qualifying. There is no limit on the number.
