Cleveland, Lincoln Volleyball Teams Earn WIAA Academic State Champ Honors 

The teams are the first-ever at Seattle Public Schools to receive recognition for their outstanding academic performance.

Cleveland (2A) and Lincoln (4A) high school’s volleyball teams were awarded the prestigious distinction of Academic State Champions in girls volleyball for the 2024 season by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA). These honors, presented as part of the Gesa Credit Union Scholastic Awards Program, recognize the teams for maintaining exceptional academic standards while excelling in their athletic endeavors.

The teams had the highest-grade point average of any team in Washington state in their division. To qualify for Academic State Champion, the teams’ GPAs were calculated by including all students who participated in the sport or activity at the varsity level. The volleyball teams at both schools exceeded the GPA requirements for this distinction, with an average GPA above 3.50.  

These merits reflect the commitment of both teams to excellence in the classroom and on the court, highlighting the athletes’ dedication to balancing rigorous academic responsibilities with their athletic achievements.  Read more and original post on the Seattle Public Schools website.
