Many records were broken and groundbreaking experiences were made in 2025

We had nearly 1,000 Academic All-State honorees with 942 student-athletes and 55 support staff receiving this honor.  The average WGPA for student-athletes was an amazing 4.0! We broke another record in attendance at the State Finals Banquet with 593 joining the celebration. 

Who could forget playing our state championship in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.  It was magical.
