High School Athletic Eligibility

            To be eligible to participate in athletic competition through the LHSAA a student must have a cumulative 2.0 grade point average in the semester prior to the activity.  If a student does not have at least a 2.0 grade point average that student is not eligible for any activity during that semester.
            To be eligible to participate in athletic competition St. Joseph School students must earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher and must not fail more than one course during any one semester.  Students failing to meet this requirement are placed on academic probation and may not participate in this activity.  At the next progress report if the student has the necessary 2.0 grade point average his eligibility will be restored.   If the progress report shows the student does not meet requirements the student remains on academic probation until the next report card.  If the student report card shows the student still does not meet requirements the student is then removed from the activity for the school year.
