A student must:
Earn a minimum 2.0 GPA in the most recent grading period (8th grade for incoming 9th graders);
Earn at least 20 credits in the previous grading period at Piner High School
Be currently enrolled in at least 4 classes (20 Credits) and on track to graduate.
Students interested in participating in a sport must complete the online athletic application. Some sports require a concussion baseline test before participation, which is conducted through the school, ask the coaches or AD for detail. Students must have a 2.0 GPA or higher in the latest grading period (8th grade matters for incoming 9th graders) unweighted, not cumulative, to participate, otherwise a waiver- a GPA between 1.4 and 1.9- form can be filled out (communicate with the coach and athletic director for more information). Additionally, a physical dated after June 1, 2019 will be required for any sport during next school year. If you attended a different high school at some point, you must pick up and fill out NCS paperwork, see the AD for paperwork. Helpful information for guardians of transfer students can be found here.
Coaches can have contact with incoming 9th graders/graduated 8th graders once these three requirements are met:
It is after June 1st
The student-athlete is enrolled or pre-enrolled at PHS
Occasionally students or parents have an issue, comment, or complaint they would like to see dealt with under the PHS Athletics Department. To make this situation fair and effective, there is an order of steps we request students and parents follow:
Contact Coach of specific team
Contact Head Coach of program
Contact Athletic Director
Contact Assistant Principal in charge of Athletics
Contact Principal
Contact School District
We take issues, comments, and complaints seriously and will work to make sure all parties needs are met and satisfied to the best of our abilities.
For those students interested in earning PE credit by playing a season of a school sport, the process and guidelines are as follows: Student-Athletes must not miss more than 10 days of participation, at the end of the season the Student-Athlete will receive the waiver form from the athletic director if the student athlete has already completed at least 10 PE credits in the classroom first. 9th graders are not eligible for the PE credit waiver. The application for interscholastic credit must be turned in to the office by the student athlete within two weeks after the last regular season game or by the pre-determined deadline set by the district, which ever is later. Forms turned in after that are considered late and not accepted.
Scholarship opportunities for student-athletes are available, get information from the Piner Counseling Department or the Athletic Director.
