Brains and Brawn: Katy ISD Student-Athletes Score Academic All-State Honors
KATY, TX [December 18, 2025] – Nearly 200 Katy ISD student-athletes are proving that tandem excellence in classrooms and competitions can net a roster slot among the Texas High School Coaches Association Academic fall sports All-State teams.
From cross country and football to team tennis and volleyball, these seniors distinguished themselves through outstanding academic performance while competing at the highest levels of UIL athletics. Their achievements reflect the dedication, discipline and balance required to succeed in both cracking books and competing athletically.
To earn Academic All-State honors, students must be senior athletes, trainers or managers in good standing, demonstrate strong character and maintain a grade point average of 92 or higher. Class rank and SAT or ACT scores are also factored into the selection process. Each student earns points for academic achievement, which determines team placement. Students named to the Elite team achieve near-perfect scores across all categories.
“These student-athletes represent the very best of Katy ISD,” Executive Director of Athletics Lance Carter said. “They’ve set a powerful example by excelling academically while competing at an elite level, and their commitment to excellence will serve them well long after high school.”
Academic All-State recognition underscores Katy ISD’s continued emphasis on developing well-rounded student-athletes who are prepared for success in college, careers and life.
