Taconic Hills Central School District

At the end of each sports season, NYSPHSAA honors those varsity teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success. To receive team recognition, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00. Students with a 90 or above will also be recognized as scholar athletes. They each will receive a pin and a certificate. I am proud to announce that the following Varsity teams are Scholar Athlete teams for the 2023-2024 Winter Season. Varsity Girls Swimming 95.73 GPA Varsity Girls Basketball 95.34 GPA Varsity Boys Swimming 94.73 GPA Varsity Bowling 93.71 GPA Varsity Boys Volleyball 92.72 GPA Varsity Boys Basketball 92.70 GPA In addition we had 39 out of 72 Varsity athletes with an average of 90 or higher. Congratulations to all! Well done! Sincerely, Angela Webster Athletic Director

Please see below message from the Elementary PTO regarding Books on Wheels next week. The PTO has decided that we will not be having Books on Wheels next week on Wednesday, February 14th, as it is Valentine's Day!! That means the kids will have to carry their valentines in and out, so who needs to worry about carrying money into school for books or carrying additional books out of school! Plus the Ducky Valentine's will be leaving the nest that day too... so much excitement for just one day!! So we will take a break from Books on Wheels for February 14th and then return again on February 28th after Mid-Winter Break!!! Thank you so much for all of your support!
