Boston Globe All-Scholastics: Meet the top athletes of the 2026 spring high school sports season

Now, it’s time to celebrate the best of the best: The Boston Globe’s All-Scholastics for the spring 2026 season.

We sorted through all the elite performances, playoff runs, league honors, and other accolades to produce our list of more than 300 honorees.

Chosen by a panel of Globe reporters and editors — with the exception of the prep choices — the 258 All-Scholastics, 27 athletes of the year, and 41 coaches of the year are selected using a combination of statistics, awards, notes, recommendations, and observation. Student-athletes from schools in Eastern Massachusetts leagues are eligible.
