Student Athlete Eligibility
As the end of the first semester nears, Grimsley Senior High School wants to ensure all student-athletes are aware of the new GPA requirement and also understand existing practices related to athletic eligibility.
In August of 2009, the Guilford County Board of Education approved a new policy addressing participation in interscholastic athletics. Part of this policy establishes a minimum GPA in addition to existing requirements of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA). In order to be eligible for athletic participation during the second semester this year, athletes must earn a weighted GPA of 1.5 for all courses taken during the first semester.
Coaches are encouraging athletes to take advantage of extra-help opportunities at our school to make sure they meet the minimum GPA requirement. As a general rule, students should ask for extra help in any course in which they have a grade below "C" at the current time. If you are concerned that you might not meet the minimum requirements, please discuss these concerns with your coach or specific teachers.
