Activity Eligibility

School Attendance

Generally, a student must be in school on the day of an activity in order to participate in that activity.  Exceptions for unusual circumstances may be made by the principal.

Academic Eligibility

Senior High: If participants have not earned credits in four academic subjects the previous semester, they will be ineligible to participate for four weeks. During the semester, passing grades must be maintained on a weekly basis in at least four academic subjects or they will be ineligible the following week.

Middle School: Participants must be passing all subjects, on a weekly basis, in order to participate in school activities that involve other schools regardless of the team/group that the student is a member (i.e.; 7th, 8th, or high school team/group).
