Athletic and Activity Fees

Students who participate in secondary level athletics and some selected activities are required to pay a fee, which is collected at the school. Students with financial need may request a waiver of the fee through their athletic director. Fees are to be paid or waivers obtained prior to a student's participation in a sport or activity.

Participants who are cut or who quit an activity within 5 practice or school days will be reimbursed the full amount of the fee if reimbursement is requested no later than 10 calendar days after the first practice. Students who participate in an activity at least 10 days will not be reimbursed if they choose to drop out of a program.
