The Chronicle’s 2025-26 All-Area Academic Team

With the 2026-27 school year fast approaching, The Chronicle is taking one final look back at the last athletic season and recognizing the area’s top student-athletes.

High school coaches often (correctly) say that it’s student-athlete, emphasizing that it’s student first, athlete second.

These prep competitors managed to sustain excellence both on the field and in the classroom, competing at the varsity level while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average during their respective schools final grading period of the 2025-26 school year, as confirmed by the school’s honor rolls and/or a school official.

Several of them did it while playing multiple sports, and many of them did it while missing in-person class time for competitions, both during the regular season and during district and state tournaments.

Teams not listed that have 4.0 student-athletes will be added to this article when those results are available from the respective schools.
