The Academic Team Champions for the winter sports have been announced and can be found by clicking here.

For the first time ever, the FHSAA will be awarding a year-end overall Academic Team Champion in each of the six classes. Points will be given for where a school places in each of the categories, similar to the All-Sports Awards. The top 10 schools in each category will receive points. Ten points will be awarded for a first place finish, nine points for second, etc. The school in each class with the highest cumulative point total for the entire school year will get a special award. Points awarded for teams in single-class sports will still count toward the overall standings. To access the link for the standings after the winter sports click here.
