GRADE 8 INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION

Students in grade 8 may be granted the opportunity to participate in high school level sports.  The high school athletic staff will notify students and families of these opportunities only when the sport is undersubscribed by high school students.  Sports that have full rosters comprised of high school level students will not solicit participation from grade 8 students.  This practice has allowed us to maintain junior varsity programs in several areas by allowing teams to run even when high school participation is low.  

The high school junior varsity interscholastic program consists of the following areas:

Since there are areas in athletics where no junior varsity program exists, grade 8 students may be eligible to try out for high school varsity interscholastic teams in the following sports under the same guidelines as mentioned above:
