The Littleton High School Girls’ Varsity soccer team has been honored with a national award for academic excellence. Recipients of the High School Team Academic Award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, they are one of only 3 schools in Colorado to receive this award for the 2015 spring season. To be eligible for the award a team must have a combined GPA of 3.25 or higher. The LHS soccer players were far beyond this benchmark with an impressive cumulative GPA of 4.09.
