Our U-E Tiger student-athletes work hard in their respective sports. And they work just as hard, if not harder, in the classroom. That hard work has earned UEHS a School of Excellence designation by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Inc. (NYSPHSAA) for the 2023-2024 school year.
The purpose of the School of Distinction and School of Excellence Awards is to unite athletic departments to challenge their teams to achieve a statewide academic honor. This year, 114 schools earned the School of Distinction Award and 226 schools earned the School of Excellence Award. These numbers have increased since the 2022-2023 school year, which were 84 schools and 219 schools, respectively.
This is the second year UEHS has earned this honor. Congratulations to our coaches and student-athletes. #TigerPride
