The All-Academic Team honors juniors and seniors who participated in a California Interscholastic Federation-approved varsity sport and maintained a cumulative, weighted grade-point average of 3.0 or better.

Marks above 4.0 reflect grades from honors classes weighted on a 5.0 scale. Some school districts make more 5.0 classes available than others.

The Union-Tribune and the county Office of Education invited all San Diego Section schools to participate. The names and GPAs printed here were taken from information provided by the schools.

This week, the Union-Tribune will announce its All-Academic Team Captains for the spring sports. The Captain’s plaque is symbolic of each sport’s Academic Athlete of the Year.

In addition, the Union-Tribune will announce the Male and Female Academic Athletes of the Year for 2015-16 — the All-Academic Team’s top honors.
