Girls Preparatory School has been recognized as one of the top high schools for athletics in the state, earning the distinction of No. 3 overall in Tennessee in a new ranking released by USA Today.

In addition to its top-three placement, GPS was also named the No. 1 school in Tennessee for girls athletics—an honor that highlights the strength, depth, and consistency of its all-girls athletic program.

The rankings, based on data and analysis from Niche, evaluate schools across a range of factors including athletic participation, number of sports offered, team success, and community feedback. The recognition places GPS among an elite group of programs statewide and reflects a sustained commitment to excellence both on and off the field.

GPS fields a wide range of competitive teams and emphasizes not only performance, but also leadership, teamwork, and personal growth—hallmarks of the school’s approach to athletics. This latest honor underscores the impact of that philosophy and the continued success of Bruiser student-athletes across Tennessee.

As GPS celebrates this achievement, the school remains focused on building on its legacy by empowering student-athletes to compete at the highest levels while developing confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of sport.
