KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 23, 2026) – United Soccer Coaches announced the 2025 – 2026 High School Scholar All-Americans on Thursday. A total of 117 student-athletes including 63 girls and 74 boys seniors were honored based on their cumulative achievement in the classroom as well as on the soccer field during their secondary school careers.
