The Los Angeles Rams are honoring two city teams for their academic excellence during the 2021 high school football season.

Hamilton High School is the winner of the Rams’ Academic Challenge Winner for the highest team in-season Grade Point Average. The Yankees GPA was 3.10.

The Hamilton football program will receive a $2,500 grant from USA Football.

The Washington High School football program won the award for the most improved team GPA. Washington’s GPA improved +.48.

The Los Angeles Rams introduced the Academic Challenge in 2017 featuring LAUSD Varsity High School football teams from across the LA-region. To kick off the challenge, each varsity program submits their team’s cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) at the beginning of the fall semester in August and participants in a character development session in which the student-athletes discuss the topics of leadership, education and professionalism. Following the session, all participants receive a Rams-branded school planner for the academic year. At the end of the Fall semester in December, the teams re-submit their cumulative GPA’s and the schools with the highest GPA and most improved GPA are named the winners of the Rams Academic Challenge.
