Student Handbook
2007-2008
ATHLETICS
This school is a member of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association. Scholastically and in all activity participation with other schools, the rules of the Association will be adhered to as set forth by the Association.
FOOTBALL
Football is the major fall sport. Workouts begin in August and continue until the last game of the season. Our school is in District 1A Games with teams outside the district and conference are scheduled to round out the schedule. Athletes and managers will earn a Varsity letter in football once they have either participated in one-fourth the number of quarters played during the course of one regular season. Anyone who quits or is dismissed from the team before the said requirements have been completed, or before the conclusion of the football season, forfeits his eligibility for a varsity letter. If an injury prevents a student from lettering who would have otherwise done so, it shall be the coach's decision whether or not to award a letter to the student. Seniors automatically letter.
BASKETBALL
Basketball is the major mid-season sport. It is open to both boys and girls. The school belongs to District 1B and the Panhandle Conference. Some games are matched outside the district and conference. The basketball teams may participate in two invitational tournaments before the State Elimination Tournaments. To letter in basketball students must complete the season (this includes managers). The coach will make the final decision as to who letters in case of an injury.
TRACK
This is the major spring sport. The school belongs to the Hi Plains Conference. To letter in track a student must participate in all scheduled meets and finish the season unless injured or otherwise unable to participate. The coach will make the final decision as to who letters in case of an injury.
BAND
More students participate in the senior band than in any other group activity. The organization is open to all students who are interested in music. Three groups are maintained, one for junior band (5th and 6th grades), one for middle school (7th and 8th) and one for senior band (9th through 12th grades). The band presents concerts, participates in the spring band festivals, and in various other functions during the school year, and also provides half-time entertainment at football games.
