PORT HURON NORTHERN GIRLS BASKETBALL FINISHES #1 IN THE STATE FOR ACADEMICS
PORT HURON — Port Huron Northern’s girls basketball team recently finished their season with the achievement of holding the highest GPA average in the state according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Their weighted team GPA is 3.986382979, placing them at “#1 in the State for BCAM (Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan) All-Academic Teams.”
This achievement was not exclusive to the girls teams throughout the state. It also qualified as the highest GPA of all of the boys teams throughout the state, making this team truly #1 All-Academic.
The team was recognized on Monday, April 15, 2024 at the Port Huron Schools’ Board of Education meeting. Many of the team members were not able to attend the recognition because they are also players in Spring sports that were taking place that same evening.
“We celebrate the exceptional academic achievement of these students who are so multifaceted with their talents,” expressed Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Catherine Woolman. “They serve as true role models to other athletes across our district and the entire state. We take pride in their accomplishments with how they represent Port Huron Schools in the both the classroom and their basketball program.”
