The Interscholastic Athletics and Student
Activities’ programs support the Cleveland Metropolitan School
District’s overall goal of becoming a premier school district in the
United States of America. Extracurricular activities and academics
go hand-in-hand as we require students, staff and parents to address
the following standards in order to participate in these programs:
• High standards/rigorous curriculum – The Cleveland Board of
Education adopted guidelines for student athletic and
extracurricular eligibility, during the 1999-2000 school year. The
guidelines indicate that students in Interscholastic Athletics, and
extracurricular activities, including band, music, drama, and dance,
must achieve a 2.00 GPA, and no “F’s” in each semester.
• Promote extracurricular activities for students – specifically
through increasing the number of students participating in
extracurricular activities, by creating a variety of city-wide
artistic groups and by expanding the variety of offerings available
to students.
• Student participation will be linked to student achievement – in
an effort to confirm the effects of student involvement on student
academic performance.
The Extracurricular Activities Program is a vital part of the
student’s educational experience. The program provides opportunities
for the development of student interests and talents. It also
provides a basis for personal values and a lifetime of work and
leisure activities. Athletics and Academics…a powerful combination
on the Path to Premier!
