The Alabama High School Athletic Association recently recognized Andalusia High School as one of 107 high schools statewide that were ejection and sportsmanship fine free throughout the 2023-2024 school year.

AHS was one of 18 Class 4A schools that received the recognition and the only one named to the list in Covington County as well as District 2. Schools were announced during a principals and athletic directors meeting on the final day of the AHSAA Summer Conference last week.

“We are extremely proud for our athletes who work hard in the classroom and on the field or court of their respective sports. We are grateful for the leadership all of our coaches exhibit. They teach our kids it is much more than fielding, catching, throwing, and shooting. As a result, students at Andalusia High School learn to represent who they are and show our community how proud they are to be Bulldogs,” Athletic Director John Dugger said.

This year’s total of 107 high schools is up 27 from the 2022-2023 school year’s 80 schools that reached this goal.

According to an AHSAA release, Class 1A led the way this year with 27 schools. In other classifications, there were 23 in 2A, 16 in 3A, 12 in 5A, six in 6A, and four in 7A.
