Minnesota State High School League policies state that a student must be making adequate progress toward graduation and regularly attend school in order to participate in League sponsored activities. FHS criteria.

• Students who are not making progress are ineligible to compete in athletic or competitive activities until they have completed credit recovery classes or regular school day classes needed to get back on track.  Students are expected to practice and attend competitions to support their team, but cannot participate.  

• Grade posting periods are 3 weeks long and the student will remain ineligible until the next grade posting to determine eligibility for the next three weeks.  Failure to become eligible after three grade posting periods will result in being dropped from their activity or athletic team with the expectation that the student will focus their time and energy on making academic progress.
