The SDHSAA Academic Achievement Team Award is designed to recognize varsity athletic teams and fine arts groups for their academic excellence. The SDHSAA believes that high school students learn in two distinct ways: inside classroom and outside the classroom on the stage and on the athletic field. The SDHSAA Academic Achievement Team Award program is designed to create a positive environment, as well as an incentive, to encourage school "teams" to have their members excel both in the classroom and the activity. The Avon Teams that have qualified for this award are the following: *All-State Chorus *Boys Basketball *Boys and Girls Basketball Cheerleaders *Football Cheerleaders *Girls Basketball *Girls Wrestling *One-Act Play *Oral Interpretation *Volleyball Congratulations!
