Extracurricular Activities

ATHLETICS

GHSA rules state that a student is eligible to represent his/her high school when he/she:

  • Is a regular student carrying four (4) units of work counting toward graduation. 
  • Is on track for graduation. 
  • Has passed three (3) of four (4) subjects counting toward graduation the previous semester.
  • Is not playing for a non-school team at the same time.
  • Will not be nineteen (19) prior to May 1 preceding the year of participation.
  • Is not a migrant pupil of less than a year's standing. (A migrant pupil is a student who changes high schools without his or her parents having moved to the new school service area.)
  • Has had a physical examination.
  • Has not participated in an unauthorized game or contest, nor signed a professional contract.
  • Is eligible to participate in athletics for four (4) consecutive years from the student’s original date of entry into the ninth grade.

NOTE: Students must be present at least 1/2 of the school day (two class periods) in order to participate in after-school practice sessions or school events unless special approval has been given by the principal.

 

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

School-sponsored clubs (excluding competitive interscholastic activities or events) are those under the sponsorship, direction and control of the school that organize and meet for common goals, objectives, and purposes.  State law requires that parents have the right to withhold permission for their students to participate in any school-sponsored club or organization designated by them.  You, as the parent/guardian, have the right to withhold in writing your permission for your student’s participation in any club or organization. If a club is added during the school year, you will be provided information on the club and your written permission will be required prior to your student’s participation. 

The following school-sponsored clubs will be in operation during this school year.  

  • Art Club – Shelley Joyce
  • Beta Club – Erica Johnson
  • Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) – Kelli Mendieta
  • Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) – Shayla Coleman and Linda Kelly 
  • Future Farmers of America (FFA) – Ashley Henry and Faith Patrick
  • JROTC –   E. Oliver and SFC Phillip Robinson
  • Student Council – Lelyn Overstreet
  • Technology Student Association (TSA) – Kristen Blanford 
  • 21st Century Leaders – Sandra Mason

 

FUND RAISING

Fundraising activities by organizations/groups that are not part of the school program or school system will not be permitted in the schools or on the school grounds during school hours. This includes any non-school activity that is solicited from or contributed to by students. No candy/snack/drink sales are permitted except 30 minutes after the school day ends. 

 

SPORTSMANSHIP RULE

Any student that brings embarrassment to SHS while participating in an extracurricular activity will face possible disciplinary action from the SHS administration.  Any student who is ejected from a game will face disciplinary action from the principal in addition to the punishment that is handed out by the GHSA and the coach.
