While success on the softball field has come at a high rate for the Highland Softball program including a 35-12 record this past season which included a Top six finish at Nationals, a Region VI District E Tournament title and Conference title, that's not the only place the Scottie softball team has found success.
For the second straight year and the seventh of the last eight years, the Highland softball team has earned NJCAA Academic Team of the Year honors for their success in the classroom.
NJCAA Academic Team of the Year honors are given out to teams that finish with a team average of 3.00 GPA for the entire school year. A total of 738 NJCAA programs earned Academic Team of the Year honors for 2018-19 and the Highland softball team was part of the NJCAA sport that had the most.
