WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A SHHS CHEERLEADER:

SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS
-
Athletes must have a minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in order to participate. This is not a cumulative GPA--it is the GPA from the preceding quarter grading period.
-
In addition to the requirements established by our District, student-athletes must meet CIF eligibility requirements.
-
Students must have satisfactory citizenship. The citizenship requirement states that a student may have no more than two U (Unsatisfactory) marks on the report card.
-
There is a one-time only probationary period. This period is one quarter in length, and students may participate while on probation. If the student does not achieve a GPA of at least 2.0 (athletes and pep unit members) at the end of the quarter probationary period, he or she becomes ineligible and does not become eligible until achieving the required GPA in a succeeding quarter.
-
Students must pass and earn full credit in at least five classes during the previous quarter or a total of 25 credits.
-
Students who wish to participate in a school activity must attend all of their classes on the day of the activity unless the absence received prior written administrative approval.
-
Summer school grades shall be added to the fourth quarter grades to determine eligibility for the first quarter of the upcoming school year only, at the written request of the student and parent(s) submitted to the Assistant Principal, Instruction/Student Activities no later than the first day of school.
-
There is an appeals process if a student is placed on probation or declared ineligible.
-
It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the eligibility requirements. It is the responsibility of the principal or designee to notify the student/parent when the student has failed to meet the requirements.
