Each season the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) presents a special award to the varsity teams with the highest GPA in each sport.  The team GPA, according to the NIAA’s website, is determined by taking the individual GPA’s of varsity team members from the previous semester and then computing an overall team average.

Four Bishop Manogue varsity sports teams, Boys Soccer, Girls Volleyball, Girls Golf, and Girls Tennis, won the NIAA All-State Academic Team Championship this fall.  The girls achieved a team average GPA of 8.84, while the boys won the award with a team average GPA of 3.55.
