Flathead High School Activities & Athletics

To be eligible for any activity sponsored by MHSA or FHS, including athletics, drama, music, student government, or any other school-sponsored activity that requires practice on a regular basis outside the regular school day, a student must meet all of the following criteria:

·     The student is encouraged to be enrolled in six classes per day.

·     Required to be in physical attendance at Flathead in at least two classes.

·     At minimum four of the classes must be reflected on the high school transcript, and the other two classes must be reflected on the transcript from the institution.

·     The student must not have received a semester unsatisfactory “U”, conditional “X”, incomplete “I”, failing “F”, or no credit “N” in any of the classes completed during the previous semester.

·     The student must have been enrolled in an educational program the previous semester.

·     Students who do not pass all of their classes, but do pass 4 classes have an opportunity to make up the failed classes through summer school or correspondence courses.

·     All students who transfer from another accredited high school outside of Kalispell Public Schools will have their initial eligibility determined by current MHSA policy, which is passing 4 classes.

·     On the first day of a new semester, eligibility for activities shall be determined according to the Kalispell academic eligibility policy. A student may become eligible by completing course work that would improve a grade to passing in a class. 

 It is the student’s responsibility to make sure his or her current academic schedule and grades meet the activities eligibility criteria.  Students need to be careful when making schedule changes so that they do not inadvertently make themselves ineligible.
