ACADEMIC ALL-STATE TEAMS
The Texas High School Coaches Association is proud to recognize the 2024-2025 Academic All-State Recipients
We understand that students’ performance in the classroom can sometimes be difficult to manage while participating in athletics, but their hard work has not gone unnoticed. The THSCA Academic All-State Teams recognize SENIOR high school athletes, trainers and managers who excel in the following categories: GPA, class rank and ACT/SAT score. The students below are being recognized as a team member based on their scores in these categories. We applaud them for their commitment and dedication to perform with the highest of excellence academically and on the field or court.
Teams will be listed below by sport as each nomination deadline passes.
ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLINE BY LOGGING INTO THE THSCA MEMBER PORTAL & SELECTING THE AWARDS OPTION TO VIEW OPEN COMPETITIONS OR REVIEW NOMINATION ENTRIES YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAPER NOMINATIONS, EMAIL NOMINATIONS OR LATE NOMINATIONS.
The following is a complete list of sports and deadlines for nominations in each:

December 1st - Football
February 1st - Swimming/Diving
March 1st - Basketball, Wrestling
April 1st - Soccer

To be nominated for Academic All-State, a student must be:
· An athlete, student trainer or manager in good standing with the team
· Of good moral character
· A senior
· Have an overall grade point average of 92 or above (including courses from grades 9-11 and courses completed from grade 12). Weighted GPAs accepted. Please note all GPA's must be numerical on a 100 point scale (92-100). GPA's under 92 will not be considered.
While the student might initially meet the criteria for nomination, that does not guarantee the student a spot on a team.
Nominations may be submitted by any coach of the prospective sport as long as the head coach of that sport is a current member of THSCA. If head coach is not a member, nomination will be deemed ineligible.
When reviewing the nominations, the THSCA considers each students’ GPA, class rank, SAT and/or ACT score. The students receive points based on each criteria. The total number of points they receive determines which team they are placed on. The classification of the school is not a factor, and there’s not a limit on how many players can make a team.
The best team a player can make is the Elite Team which requires a near perfect score in all categories. After Elite comes the following teams:
1st Team
2nd Team
