DHS Sports
Eligibility for participation in all extracurricular activities is determined at the end of each marking period. To be eligible to play sports, a student must achieve a minimum grade of 1.67 in all subjects. More than one failure (F) automatically disqualifies a student from participation. The year-end cumulative mark is used to determine eligibility during the first marking period of the following school year. Marks earned during the summer may be applied to improve the year-end cumulative marks.
Varsity sports will be played in conjunction with other larger Springfield Public Schools high schools. We will offer club sports such as golf and rowing on our campus.
Please see Coach Johnson for more information:
