Student Supporters and Spectators
1. Use announcements and posters to promote school spirit and good sportsmanship at events.
Signs and posters are the responsibility of cheerleaders and/or pep squad organizations and must
be approved by the school.
2. Promote pre-game interest and activity so that the athletic program is shared by all, not just
athletes. Give positive support at all rallies.
3. Be a good host or guest in relationship to your opponents. Treat them as you would wish to be
treated. Be respectful during the playing of the national anthem, pre-game ceremonies, half-time
activities and the singing of the Alma Mater.
4. Exhibit the highest degree of good sportsmanship at all events. Follow the directions of
cheerleaders and security personnel. Stay away from the visiting school's rooting section and
avoid any provocative activity. Students involved in unauthorized activity at athletic events will
be subject to disciplinary action.
5. Stay away from the other school's campus and vicinity prior to and after athletic events (except
39
on official school business). Any vandalism or destruction of another school's property will
subject the student responsible to severe disciplinary action.
6. Stay out of playing areas until contests are completed.
7. Treat all visiting teams, students and spectators as guests. Remember, you are your school.
PARENTS
1. Insist that your sons and daughters adhere to the highest standards of good sportsmanship on or
off the playing field, as athletes or spectators.
2. Support the school athletic program through participation in “booster” clubs, security programs,
and by attendance at athletic events.
3. Above all, provide “adult” example of good sportsmanship to all your people, be they players or
spectators.
4. Parents are not allowed to raise money for any team or team function without the approval of
the athletic director.
5. The administration reserves the right to remove or prohibit parents from athletic events for
inappropriate behavior.
PLEASE REFER TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR FROM PARENTS,
GUARDIANS, OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE PARENT EXPECTATION SECTION OF THE
HANDBOOK.
