Eligibility Policy for Athletes

In addition to the Physical Education classes, an interscholastic program will be offered to students in the 6th - 12th grades. It is our belief that an athletic program can be used as motivation for the student to excel first spiritually, secondly academically, and third physically. Therefore, all students are expected to maintain Christ like behavior at all times and must meet the following academic and behavioral requirements:

Sports participation and Grades - Our policy at GCS is that a student must have an overall grade average of C- or above, with no failing grade in any subject, to participate in competitive sporting events. A student with a D+ overall may attend practices and suit up for games but not actually play in a game. A student with an overall grade average of D or below will not be allowed to attend or participate in practices, as more attention is needed academically.

A complete set of guidelines are set forth in the Student/Parent Handbook.
