NYSPHSAA School of Excellence
South High School has been honored by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) as a recipient of the 2021–22 School of Excellence award. South High is one of 148 schools across the State to receive this honor, which requires that 75% of a school’s varsity teams qualify for the Scholar-Athlete team award.
During the 2021–22 school year, a total of 26 South High teams achieved NYSPHSAA Scholar-Athlete recognition for maintaining an average team GPA of 90.00 or above. Don Herr, South High athletic director, was presented with the School of Excellence plaque during a NYSPHSAA meeting in September.
Additional student selected for All-State
Yonathan Eilon, a senior at South High School, originally selected as a New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) All-State Music Conference Alternate, has been placed into the All-State Mixed Chorus as a bass vocalist.
Yonathan will join Great Neck’s previously announced musicians selected for All-State: Kanheng (Martin) Lin, Nancy Schoen, and Joy Song from South High; and Samuel Friedmann, Julia Huang, Owen Roubeni, Shuyuan (Julie) Sun, and Maverick Williams from North High.
