Eligibility for Competition

The governing body for all competitive interscholastic teams is the Georgia High School Association (GHSA). The GHSA by-laws state, "All students establishing eligibility as entering 9th graders are automatically eligible for the first semester."

All entering 9th graders are eligible to try out for all GHSA-sanctioned activities at the high school. At the end of the first semester and all subsequent semesters, a student who wishes to try out must pass a minimum of five out of six courses and be on track for graduation.

Students will not be permitted to practice or participate in athletic activities on a school day if they have been absent for more than one-half of the day or have served in-school suspension that day.
