Each IHSA school was also invided to nominate one female, and one male student to be a part of the 2015-16 All-State Academic Team. Nominees needed to possess a minimum 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale after their seventh semester, and participated in at least two IHSA sponsored activities each of the last two years, and demonstrated outstanding citizenship.
