Athletic Eligibility
In order for students to participate in athletics they must complete a permission form, chemical health form, and a physical examination by a doctor, and also meet all eligibility rules.
In addition to adhering to the tenets of the MIAA academic eligibility requirements, Holliston High School requires students to attain passing grades in all courses (incomplete grades are not considered to be passing grades) – using both term and final grades when available - in the term immediately preceding participation in the sport (for students attending an approved summer school program, the final grades of program will be considered in determining eligibility for Fall athletics). Eligibility for a succeeding term is determined on the day report cards for the previous term is issued to all students.
Academically ineligible students may become eligible at the end of each term by attaining passing term and semester grades in all courses.
- Students who are academically ineligible must tryout with the team at the beginning of the season. Students who make the team are held to the same expectations as their teammates, including attending all practices and games until they become eligible. Students who are academically ineligible may not participate in any scrimmage or game.
- Regarding interscholastic athletics: any student deemed ineligible at the start of a season would remain ineligible until the next marking period term and final grades are issued.
- Students who are ineligible due to incomplete course work may become eligible if the incomplete grades become passing grades.
- Students who are ineligible may continue to practice with a team, at the coach’s discretion, until they become eligible.
