Academic Policy for Athletic Participation

All junior high student athletes must have been academically promoted into their current grade. In addition, upon enrollment, athletes must continually progress toward promotion by passing a minimum of six classes each grade reporting period. Students who pass at least half of their classes, but less than the mandatory six classes, will be placed on probation until the next grade reporting period where they must pass a minimum of six classes to remain eligible. Students who fail more than half of their classes will become immediately ineligible without a probation period. Once ineligible, students remain ineligible to participate in any sport until the minimum of six classes are passed. A student may be restored to the current team in-season only at the discretion of the coach and the administration.

All high school athletes must meet the TSSAA grade requirement of earning five credits the previous academic year. In addition, upon enrollment, athletes must continually progress toward graduation by passing a minimum of five classes each grade reporting period. Students who pass at least half of their classes, but less than the mandatory five classes, will be placed on probation until the next grade reporting period where they must pass a minimum of five classes to remain eligible. Students who fail more than half of their classes will become immediately ineligible without a probation period. Once ineligible, students remain ineligible to participate in any sport until the minimum of five classes are passed. A student may be restored to the current team in-season only at the discretion of the coach and the administration.
