Lucky #7 For Rocky Point


| Rocky Point Schools | Facebook

Rocky Point High School has done it again. The Eagles have been recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association as a Scholar-Athlete School of Excellence Award winner. This will now mark the 7th straight year that the Eagles have earned that honor.

Rocky Point is one of only 24 Section XI schools to earn the honor for its 25 varsity teams in the 2023-24 school year.

The award honors Rocky Point for having all its varsity teams qualify for and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award during their respective sports seasons. To qualify, every varsity team must have 75% or more of its student-athletes earn an average of 90 or higher.

The certificate and award will be presented to Athletic Director Jonathon Rufa by the executive director of NYSPHSAA at the organization’s annual workshop in the fall.
