Fredonia is proud to be one of only 110 schools across the state to be recognized as a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Inc. (NYSPHSAA) School of Distinction for the 2024-2025 school year.   

To be recognized as a School of Distinction, a school must apply for the honor and have 100% of its varsity teams earn the Scholar-Athlete Team Award during their respective sports seasons.

“Congratulations to our Schools of Distinction and Excellence,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “These prestigious honors represent the culmination of a school year marked by outstanding achievement in the classroom. These accolades would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, and commitment of the student-athletes, coaches, and administrators whose efforts these awards proudly recognize.” 

The purpose of the awards is to unite athletic departments in challenging their teams to achieve a statewide academic honor.  The full list of School of Distinction and School of Excellence Award winners can be viewed by using the links below.
