Four high school seniors from Point Loma have received recognition for academic and athletic achievement.
After each athletic season the San Diego Union-Tribune announces San Diego high school students who have been named All-Academic, an award given to high school juniors and seniors playing varsity sports and who have maintained a 3.0 grade point average.
Point Loma residents Alicia Hanson, Hunt Hardisty, Travis Hill and John Lazar attend The Bishop’s School, an independent high school in La Jolla that is associated with the Episcopal Church.
They are four of the 71 students at the Bishop’s School to have earned All-Academic recognition as a result of the fall academic and athletic season.
In addition to receiving recognition from the Union-Tribune, many of the Bishop’s student athletes have also been awarded honors by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), which organizes athletic divisions among the state’s high schools.
“For our kids to be recognized that they’re excelling in the classroom and then to have them dually recognized that they’ve done well on the sports field is what you hope when you are educating a well-rounded person,” said school spokeswoman Suzanne Weiner.
