Academic Eligibility for Athletics

For high school, a full-time student earns academic eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities by maintaining a 2.0 grade-point average (GPA), calculated using credit or non-credit courses, with no more than two failing grades for the marking period which governs eligibility for that activity.

Contact the appropriate coach or Jarrett Ingram, MRHS AAM, if you have any questions.

Athletic Rules of Conduct

At all Howard County athletic events, we strive to provide a pleasant and safe environment for all spectators and participants. We ask fans to refrain from:

• Intimidating or harassing the players, coaches, officials, or fans
• Using profanity
• Throwing objects
• Entering the playing area
• Loitering in the hallways or on the grounds
• Those who fail to abide by the Rules of Conduct will be asked to leave the contest, and could result in a trespass letter banning the spectator from future athletic events at the school.

Admission is a privilege to observe a contest, not a license to display insensitive or offensive behavior. Enjoy the event! Be a fan, not a fanatic!
