Academic Eligibility

If a student is not academically eligible, he/she is not athletically eligible and will not be allowed to play in a game until they are academically eligible again.  Additionally violations of codes of respect may result in athlete becoming ineligible to play in games.

In order to be academically eligible, an ARISE Scholar Athlete must meet the following requirements:

  • The student must maintain a minimum progress toward meeting the high school graduation

  • Student has no more than 1 NC the day before the game

  • Student turns in Progress Report (see below) to Dean of School Culture by lunch the day prior to any game

  • The student upholds the ARISE Codes of Respect 

Scholar Athletes as Warrior Intellectuals

Warrior Intellectuals follow strict codes to live life with integrity and love.  At ARISE, Scholar Athletes are expected to uphold ARISE’s Core Values at all times. A Warrior Intellectual disciplines themselves with the strength, courage, and conviction to hold true these foundational ARISE Core Values in order to help themselves and the ARISE community rise up:

RESPECT:  Respect Self, Others, Your Words, Space

PERSEVERE:  Persevere through uncertainty, challenge, & struggle

BUILD:  Build discipline, knowledge, agency, & community

LEAD:  Lead with integrity, courage and through action

Expectations for Scholar Athletes

The following outlines the obvious areas of personal ethics along with the consequences for behavior in conflict with our Core Values and our expectations for behavior by Scholar Athletes on and off the field: 

  1. Any athlete who is approaching expectations in more than 1 Code of Respect may lose eligibility to play. 

  2. Hateful, oppressive, or obscene language , or any act of vulgarity, is not acceptable on or off the field. Violators will be disciplined by the coach and may also face school disciplinary action.

  3. Athletes are expected to treat their opponent with respect before, during, and after competition. Athletes showing poor sportsmanship towards opponents or officials, will be disciplined by the coach and may also face disciplinary action.

  4. Athletes are expected to attend all classes, be on time, turn in their assignments on time, seek help from the teacher when necessary, have a positive attitude toward their peers and teachers, and model being a Warrior Intellectual. Failure to do so will result in discipline from the coach and can lead to ineligibility to play. .

  5. An athlete must be in class for four full periods to practice or play in a game that day. If an athlete in not in four full periods of class, he/she becomes ineligible to compete or practice that day. 

  6. An athlete who receives a Temporary Exclusion from school may not participate in practices or games for the duration of the Temporary Exclusion, including holidays, weekends, and breaks.

  7. Attendance at practice, scrimmages, team meetings, and games is required. Absences not excused by the coach in advance may result in disciplinary action and possible removal from the team.

  8. Academic Honesty: Athletes are expected to uphold the academic honesty policy set forth by ARISE High School. Athletes found cheating will be disciplined by the coach and may also face school disciplinary action.
