FORT BRAGG HIGH SCHOOL

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES/ATHLETIC CODE
INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
In conjunction with their academic courses of study, Fort Bragg High School students are encouraged to pursue their extracurricular interests and participate in the activities and athletic programs available to them. Participation in these programs is a privilege which carries with itcertain responsibilities. An athletic/activity participant at FBHS is expected to represent high standards and that the Activities/Athletics Code will apply to all participants in our district during the school year. We are concerned with maintaining PRIDE in our programs and we believe that academic achievement, outstanding physical condition, and high moral standards should be top goals for allparticipants in activities and athletics. Participants are defined as any students actively participating on any recognized interscholastic athletic team, including managers and statisticians, or members of any student organization or club recognized by the Associated Student Body, or as student representatives in any capacity (i.e. to the Board of Trustees, Site Council, etc.). Activities includeall athletic, musical, dramatic events, as well as field trips, dances, and the end-of-the-year graduation ceremony. This code is designed to promote the ideals of sportsmanship and pride in representing the school and to ensure acceptable standards of participation at all athletic events and school related activities. It applies to all student participants from the date of first entering highschool through the graduation ceremony.
