Carle Place High School has been recognized as one of 42 Long Island schools to receive the prestigious School of Excellence designation from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association for the 2024-25 school year.
This honor is presented to schools in which at least 75% of varsity teams earn the Scholar-Athlete Team Award. To qualify, 75% of each team’s roster must hold a grade point average of 90% or above — an achievement that reflects the strong connection between academic success and athletic dedication.
Across New York State, 331 schools earned recognition this year as either Schools of Excellence or Schools of Distinction, demonstrating the commitment of student-athletes, coaches, and school communities to both education and athletics.
Carle Place High School’s achievement highlights the determination of its student-athletes and the encouragement of teachers, administrators and families who support them in striving for excellence both in the classroom and on the playing field.
