Football

High school football is a powerful and popular team sport that brings students, families, and communities together. The game combines strength, speed, strategy, and discipline. Each position—from quarterback to lineman—plays a crucial role in the team's success, highlighting the importance of teamwork and trust. Football teaches valuable life skills such as leadership, perseverance, and resilience, making it more than just a game—it’s a tradition and a way to build character both on and off the field. Go Eagles!

Student Eligibility
Academic Eligibility
No student athlete may have an “F” in any subject during a five-week athletic season.
Grade checks will occur the second, third and fourth Friday of each season to determine eligibility. Any student athlete, whose grade point average is below 2.0 and/or has an “F” in any subject, will be ineligible for the following 5 school days. Weekly grade checks will occur on Friday. If the student has raised their failing grades, the athlete will regain eligibility for the following week.
- Incomplete (I) may be given additional consideration for extenuating circumstances.
- During the 5 days of ineligibility, the student/athlete may practice.
A student athlete who is in a prescribed special education class or 504 program and is not meeting academic eligibility will have grades reviewed to ensure all accommodations are being implemented.
Behavioral Eligibility
- Behavioral Eligibility: Students who receive major ODR will be ineligible for the entire sports season.
- If a student-athlete receives a minor ODR, they may forfeit the ability to play in the next game pending coach/AD permission.
- 4 minor ODRs = a major and will result in ineligibility.
Student Code of Conduct
The Athletic Code of Conduct is a commitment to represent self, school, family and the community in the most positive manner at all times. We hold our student athletes to the highest standard as they are ambassadors for our High School.

Attendance
For activity participation, either in practice or competition, a student must be in class every scheduled period of the school day or have given documentation for an exempt absence to the attendance clerk or an administrator for that day. An exempt absence is defined as an absence due to a legal, medical/dental, bereavement or school sponsored reason. Students missing class due to an out of school suspension, unexcused and excused absences are ineligible on the day of the absence for practice or competition.
Students must also be at practice consistently. Chronic absences from practice will result in decreased playing time during games.
Travel Release & Absence
All student-athletes will be expected to have this form completed and brought to their coach prior to departing for their competition, event, or game.
Student-athletes who will be riding home with someone other than their guardian or team must have this form completed prior to the day of their competition, event, or game.
