High School Athletic Director Ed Rodrigues presented the accomplishments of student-athletes in his fall 2019 report to the school committee on Thursday night.

The overall grade point average earned by the 141 students, including 28 eighth graders, who participated in Wareham High School sports in the fall of 2019 was a 88.2, and all of the school's sports teams collectively scored GPAs between 80.5 and 90.7. The school's field hockey team members earned overall a 90.5 GPA; its 23-member boys soccer team scored 90.7. Both are equivalent to an A grade.

"I am shocked and amazed by these scores," Rodrigues said in response to school committee members' praise of his department's accomplishments. "And we're talking just 141 kids here.  I'm excited about that. And I hope it will continue for years to come."
