Summary
The board recognized the Prosser High girls' basketball team for earning the Academic State Championship with a team GPA reported around 3.872; students, coaches and the superintendent emphasized academics and community pride.
The Prosser School District board recognized the Prosser High girls’ basketball team at its March 11 meeting for winning the Academic State Championship. Board members invited the team forward, and several players introduced themselves with current GPAs and grade levels.
Students who spoke included Brooklyn Westenberg (4.0), Leila Carter (4.0), Keelan (3.826), Amelia (reported 10.7 — likely mis‑transcribed), Mickey Wright (4.0) and others who gave their grade levels and GPAs. Coach Bailey congratulated the group and said he was proud; “I just wanna say I'm very proud of you guys,” he told the team. The superintendent praised the players’ academic achievements and said the district is proud of how student‑athletes “grow into young women and professionals.”
The board paused the business agenda briefly for photographs and community acknowledgement. The superintendent stressed the district’s focus on academics, noting that the award recognized student achievement as well as athletic participation.
What happens next: the board and district will celebrate the team in communications and on the district website, and the superintendent encouraged continued academic focus across all sports programs.
