Eleven student-athletes from both Carbon and Emery High Schools were recently awarded Academic All-State honors for the Spring sports season by the Utah High School Activities Association. This award celebrates those that have excelled in both the classroom and on the field of play. All student-athletes that maintain a 4.0 GPA qualify. The Academic All-State award is decided by either meeting an index score (view here) or having a 4.0 unweighted grade-point-average.
Jackson Griffeth and Jackson Smith of the Carbon soccer squad were named to the list as both were great contributors to the team this season. Griffeth found the back of the net nine times adding five assists this season and Smith put three in the net and added one assist.

Softball teams for both schools were well represented with three players from Emery and two from Carbon. Brynlei Luke, Cambrie Jensen and Madisyn Childs earned the honor for the Lady Spartans. This was the third honor for Childs who had two other mentions this season for volleyball and basketball.
