Want to play sport 2026-2027 School Year

We’re officially in the last quarter of the school year, so it’s really important to stay on top of your grades and attendance. If you’re thinking about playing a fall sport next school year—like volleyball, boys soccer, football, cheerleading, or cross country—just keep in mind that the Athletic Director, Ms. Hurst will be checking your 3rd and 4th quarter grades and attendance to make sure you’re eligible.

To qualify, you need to pass at least 5 out of your 6 classes and have no more than 13.5 absences.

So make sure you’re showing up, doing your work, and finishing the year strong. It’ll pay off!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask a coach or  Ms. Hurst.
