The Academics, Arts, and Athletics Award, commonly known as the Triple 'A' Award, honors high school seniors throughout the state who have a 3.0 or higher-grade point average and who participate in League-sponsored athletic and fine arts activities.  

Triple ‘A’ Award recipients are selected through a multi-level process involving Member Schools of the League, the League’s administrative regions, and a special committee of educators, business leaders and members from the fine arts and athletic communities.

Two award finalists from each region (one boy and one girl) will be recognized at a banquet in March and during the Boys Basketball State Tournament.

Four statewide award winners — a girl and a boy from Class A and Class AA schools to be announced at the banquet — will also receive a four-year, $1,000 per-year scholarship.
