Extra-Curricular Activities Policies and Procedures

Harmon Prep School encourages students to be involved in extracurricular activities where time, abilities and interests allow. However, while Harmon Stem School believes in developing the whole person, a higher priority must be placed on academics over extra-curricular activities. Any school activity that requires student participation outside of normal academic classes or outside the normal school day will require a student to be eligible.

Eligibility for Extracurricular Activities

Eligibility for extracurricular activities is as follows:

Students must maintain a quarterly GPA of 2.33 or higher.
Students with a quarterly GPA below 2.33 or on Academic Probation may be eligible for selected extra-curricular activities with a waiver. Waiver forms may be obtained from the Head of School .
Students with failing grade of “F” are not eligible for participation.
Students on Behavioral referrals are not eligible for participation.
The Head of School will publish each quarter and mid-quarter an eligibility list. It is the responsibility of each coach and club advisor to enforce the eligibility procedures for their extra-curricular activity. Any school activity that requires student participation outside of normal academic classes or outside the normal school day will require a student to adhere to the eligibility above.

An eligibility list will be made available to all coaches, advisors and administrators at the end of each quarter. The 4th quarter GPA of the previous year will be used to determine the students eligibility for1st quarter.

“Perhaps a great future leader or a great genius is with us and their power will come from the power of the child they are today. This is the vision we must have.”

— Dr. Maria Montessori, The Theosophist
