ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Eligibility requirements must be met by all students who participate in an extracurricular activity. All
academic requirements are based on a minimum-passing grade of 70. GHSA refers to the Georgia High School
Association activities which are governed by that body. State Board “No Pass/No Participation” policy pertains
only to competitive interscholastic activities. Certain other school activities may also be governed by these
policies. Approved high school and middle school summer school is an extension of the spring
semester/quarter. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: All students
must pass two and a half (2.5) units of credit the semester preceding participation. Units required: 5 units by 2 nd
year, 11 units by 3 rd year, 17 units by 4 th year. All first semester freshmen are eligible. All students must be
taking at least 3 courses for credit to be eligible. Minimum day and audit courses do not carry course
credit.

A student must not have attained the 19 th birthday prior to May 1 preceding the year of participation.
A student must reside within Harrison’s designated attendance zone with a custodial parent/guardian and
have not previously attended another high school (public or private) while living in Harrison’s
attendance zone. Students who do not meet this requirement are considered migrant. Migrant students
are not eligible for varsity participation for one calendar year from their enrollment date, but can
participate in sub-varsity.
All students must complete the CCSD Online Athletic Registration (access via ParentVue) where they
will satisfy medical clearance procedures including verification of an updated/current physical exam,
proof of insurance, and consent for participation.
All students must be enrolled in at least three courses for credit. Seniors on minimum day for the fall
semester run the risk of being ineligible if they fail one course.
CODE OF CONDUCT POLICY FOR EXTRACURRICULAR PARTICIPATION
Participation in interscholastic/extracurricular activities in CCSD schools is a privilege, not a right. Students
participating in these activities are considered to be school leaders. They are role models who represent their
school and more importantly, depict its character. With leadership comes additional responsibility and student
participants must adhere to higher standards of conduct. When students violate these standards of conduct, the
school/District may withdraw the privilege to participate in interscholastic/extracurricular activities. Students
participating in interscholastic/extracurricular activities are held to the standards and provisions of Cobb County
Board of Education Policy IDF-R.
