7th and 8th grade student athletes, managers and/or cheerleaders must follow the academic guidelines as stated:
to be eligible for the first semester of fall sports for each school year and participate in or try out for a Sacred Heart School team and/or cheerleading squad, a student shall have passed at least six (6) classes from the previous school year, which shall be listed on the student’s report card and shall have earned a “C” average as a final average the previous school year when considering all “graded” subjects. Sacred Heart school recognizes a “C” average as a 2.0 in a 4.0 quality point system (4.0 – A, 3.0 – B, 2.0 – C and 1.0 – D). To be eligible for the second semester of the school year, a student shall pass at least 6 subjects at midterm.
The Administration also has the discretion to remove a student from an extracurricular and/or co-curricular activity because of inappropriate behavior.
The rationale for adding the behavior criterion to the athletic eligibility is as follows:
- Membership on school teams and the cheerleading squad are desirable positions, and due to the fact that Sacred Heart Elementary has a wealth of talented students, unfortunately some are not chosen for these
limited number of positions. The positions should not only be given to students who are athletically talented, but also well-behaved, respectful and obedient.
- Participation in extracurricular and co-curricular activities is a privilege, not a right of a student. Students who seek leadership status in the school must model a Christian attitude, good behavior and be a worthy representative of the school at all times.
- The athletic program of the school is important, but like all extracurricular and co-curricular activities, are only a small part of the total school. The elementary athletic program has value only as it seeks to support the mission of the school and goals of the athletic program which read:
The mission of Sacred Heart School is to teach doctrine and academics, to build community and to serve in a manner that instills morals, ethics and the values found in the Gospels of Jesus Christ.
The goal of the Sacred Heart School Athletic Program at the elementary and high school levels is to develop discipline, character and a love of God. All other goals must fall within these parameters.
