Participation & Spectator Fees
The following fees will be charged for athletics and activities in the 2022-2023 school year. We understand the increases will impact our families and want to assure our community that a lot of time and consideration was taken in the process of making this decision. We did not want to make this move, but it is our goal to support our students and provide them with the opportunities to compete and participate in events so this is one of many efforts we are taking to support the HS general fund. The fees for student participation and event spectators will go to support travel expenses to our teams for away events. In doing so, we will be able to relieve pressure on the HS general fund without eliminating the option for teams to travel and participate in out of district events. All fees and passes can be paid for at the High School office. Contact High School Administrative Assistant, Lisa Grevious, for more information.
7-12 Student Participation Fees
$125 flat rate (includes spectator pass)
** Students needing assistance with participation fees can contact Mr. Ballantyne or Mrs. Howells for options. **
