Coalhurst High School recognizes that extracurricular athletics promotes sportsmanship, team building, good citizenship, high academic standards, and community responsibility. Extracurricular athletics provide an opportunity for students to explore their unique talents outside of the classroom setting. These activities demand a high level of commitment, excellence, and self motivation, which will help prepare students for the challenges they will meet outside the school community. Athletic competition also improves school spirit and helps students develop pride in their school.
It is a privilege for students to participate in extracurricular athletics. Participation is voluntary and is not a requirement, nor an entitlement. Therefore, extra time and effort is required of those who participate. As a member of Coalhurst High School’s extracurricular programs, high standards must be maintained. Those who earn the privilege of representing Coalhurst High School in extracurricular athletics are expected to accept greater responsibilities as school citizens.
Participation in extracurricular athletics is open to all students provided they meet the general requirements as outlined in our Athletic Handbook, and any requirements specific to the activity of their choice.
