Greenport High School is one of the smaller schools on the Island but it has just made a big impact. Greenport has been recognized as a 2024-25 School of Distinction.

Greenport is one of just four schools in New York State to receive the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Promotion Banner Award.

The award celebrates student-athletes and teams who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship by recognizing them at Board of Education meetings, providing a meaningful platform for community-wide acknowledgment.

Reinforcing its commitment to the principles of fair play and respect, the district takes the message of “Staying in the Game” seriously.Any student-athlete or coach ejected from an athletic event must meet with the Athletic Director to reflect on their actions and review any additional consequences before being cleared to return.

"We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from NYSPHSAA. This award reflects the shared commitment of our coaches, athletes, families, and entire school community to uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship both on and off the field,” said Greenport Athletic Director Brian Toussaint told Section XI, “As a small school, we take great pride in the character of our student-athletes and the strong sense of community that defines Greenport Athletics."
