The Utah High School Activities Association is the leadership
organization for high school athletic and fine arts activities in Utah. Since 1927, the UHSAA has led the development of education-based interscholastic athletic
and fine arts activities that help students succeed in their lives. The belief is these activities are an essential part of the high school experience and go a long way to improving academic performance and producing better citizens.
For many years the UHSAA has presented the Academic All-State Award to recognize those students who have excelled in the classroom as well as in athletic
competition. Individuals are selected for this award on the basis of their athletic ability and academic proficiency. With over 100,000 students participating in
high school activities, this award is the most prestigious honor the UHSAA presents to senior students. On behalf of all those who are associated with the UHSAA, I
congratulate and pay tribute to those individuals who have earned and received this distinguished award.
Respectfully, Robert C. Cuff
UHSAA Executive Director
Nomination Process
Each sport and activity season, the UHSAA will open nominations through RegisterMyAthlete. Parents/students will enter their RegisterMyAthlete account and click on the Academic All-State tab to enter their unweighted cumulative high school GPA, ACT/SAT score, and submit the nomination form. Schools will confirm the student-athlete is a varsity contributor, confirm the GPA and ACT/SAT score, verify the student is a senior, and upload a current transcript prior to submitting the nomination to the UHSAA by the specified deadline (View deadlines). The Academic All-State award will now be decided by either meeting an index score (View index) or having a 4.0 unweighted GPA. The UHSAA will post the recipients on this page and announce through Twitter @UHSAAinfo.
