Academics

Come Holy Spirit, great Teacher and Guide, be with me as I begin this new school year. I ask You to please help me...study hard, learn much, make new friends, respect my teachers, and help my classmates. Walk with me, Holy Spirit, and lead the way. Shine through me and deepen my faith so that everyone I meet this year may know that I am Your follower and friend. Amen.

Academics and Athletics

In order for a student to participate in sports and other extra curricular activities, an overall 77% average must be maintained.

If the student drops below a 77% in any subject but maintains an overall 77% as a whole, the student may continue to play his/her sport or extra curricular activity, but must seek tutoring in the below-than-77% subject.

If a student drops into the “F” grade, 69% or lower, the student will immediately forfeit athletic team play and extra curricular activities. The student will resume team play and extra curricular activity when the “F” grade is brought up to the “D” range (70-76%) and the overall percent average is at least 77%.
