REMINDER ON OHSAA ELIGIBILITY

The start of the school year is upon us. Students MUST be enrolled in and have to pass 5 credits in the CURRENT quarter at the HS level to be eligible to play a sport. Keep in mind that if you are enrolled in a CCP course and you drop the course or fail to attend and they drop you, the STUDENT SHOULD NOTIFY athletics and their counselor ASAP.

Also, a few reminders:

1. When taking a CCP course it MUST be a 14-16 week course. 8 week courses COULD CAUSE you to be ineligible. They count toward eligibility but you must be enrolled in that CCP course prior to the start of the new semester

2. GPA’s must be above 2.0 or students will be placed on an academic contract

3. The OHSAA eligibility standards are FOR QUARTER GRADES ONLY. Semester grades do not count towards eligibility

4. Students must pass the equivalent of 5 credits at the HS level and 4 classes as the MS level

NEW TICKETING PRICES FOR THE GCC

The Greater Cleveland Conference (GCC) will be raising admission ticket prices for all athletic events beginning in the 2023-2024 school year. In May, GCC principals approved the increase in athletic ticket prices after GCC Athletic Directors conducted a review of ticket prices for surrounding conferences in Northeast Ohio and found most to already be at these price levels. Ticket sales revenue generated from the events is the main source of funding used by member schools to cover costs for sports and the overall athletic department budget. While costs of game officials, security, sporting equipment, along with all the other costs associated with these events have increased and ticket prices have not. The increase is intended to help offset costs without sacrificing family, student and community experiences. This is the first price increase the GCC has issued since the formation of the league in 2020. The GCC consists of member schools Brunswick, Cleveland Heights, Euclid, Medina, Mentor, Shaker Heights, and Strongsville.
