Students who participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics, clubs, or student government to a meaningful extent may earn a Student Engagement Seal (“Seal”) printed on the student’s high school transcript and/or diploma. Meaningful participation may entail but is not limited to any of the following:
Participation in an extracurricular activity for four (4) years;
Serving as the captain of an extracurricular team;
Election as the president of an extracurricular club or body of student government; or
A recommendation for the seal from a coach or faculty advisor based on the student’s extensive, demonstrated commitment to the School.
Students may begin earning the Seal during the ninth (9th) grade and use participation in extracurricular activities at any point during their time in high school. Participation in qualifying activities must be validated by documented hours, with supporting documentation, and coach/faculty advisor verification with personal knowledge of the student’s engagement.
The Principal or his/her designee shall be responsible for implementing the process to earn a Seal.
Students will be required to complete six (6) extra curricular experiences during High School. These experiences can include athletics, musical/drama performances, designated clubs, or student government. Experiences must be school sponsored, supervised and recorded on a Student Engagement Seal Form. This form will be completed by the student and the coach, athletic director, a music director, club advisor, or designee will sign the form to verify that the student has participated to a meaningful extent.
Participation in activities that did not take place while the student was enrolled in the school may require additional documentation or verification before credit is granted.
Students must participate for the entire season or identified time frame. If a student quits or is otherwise unable to complete the experience, it will not count toward the required amount. The participation in these experiences must be to a “meaningful extent”. Not all extracurricular activities provided by the school will count as credit toward this seal.
