Students must maintain an overall "C" average (74% or above) for all courses taken.

A student who meets the Alabama High School Athletic Association minimum academic standards of 70% but fails to maintain a 74 average in all courses (the local standard) will be declared on academic probation for the following 9 week grading period. If the student fails to maintain the required 74 average the end of this probationary period, the student will be ruled ineligible for the following 9-week period. An extra-curricular activity is defined as an organized school function that requires after school practice and performance. Examples are: athletics, band, drama and chorus. The school principal will identify school functions that meet these criteria and ensure that sponsors, students and parents are so informed.

The standards will commence upon a student’s entry into the 7^th grade and will run until completion of the 12^th grade.

Completion of summer school or correspondence courses will be used in calculating the "C" average.

A special education student’s eligibility will be determined by the grades received and individual education plan (IEP).

Extra-curricular activities subject to this policy may establish additional requirements.

The sponsor of an extra-curricular activity will be responsible for providing the principal or designee with a list of participants and the governing rules and by-laws.

The principal in each school in which extra-curricular activities are supported will appoint an Extra-Curricular Activities Committee. This committee will consist of a minimum of 3 full-time faculty members and one administrator. The committee will be charged with the responsibility of reviewing eligibility, considering changes in the administration of activities and receiving inquiries from students, parents and sponsors.
