Athletics

Students who are involved in any co-curricular activity must be in good academic standing and must meet the attendance requirements set forth. Any student who plans to practice, participate or perform in any co-curricular event must be in attendance for at least 2 instructional periods. Students must also adhere to the guidelines set forth in this handbook in regard to the Drug, Alcohol, and Other Illegal Substances policy, student conduct policies and behavioral expectations while representing Nazareth Academy. Participation in activities is considered an extension of, but separate from, the regular high school program. While the regular curricular program is a right afforded to each student, participation in the co-curricular program is a privilege and, as such, carries certain expectations beyond those found in the classroom.
