Academic Eligibility: KCHS prioritizes academic success. To maintain athletic eligibility students must have a passing grade in all their classes while also maintaining a 2.0 grade point average.
Academic Progress: ASAA requires that all students have passing grades in five (5) semester units of credit to participate in the next semester. Seniors who are on track to graduate must take at least four (4) semester units of credit or the equivalent to be eligible. Other seniors must be enrolled in a minimum of five (5) semester units
of credit or the equivalent to be eligible. In addition, all students must maintain at least an overall 2.0 grade point average (GPA) during the current semester to remain eligible.
E-checks: Must be passing all classes and have a 2.0 GPA or higher
Students determined to be ineligible at the mid-quarter check will begin their ineligibility on the first school day following the grade check until the next eligibility check. Students may regain their eligibility after seven calendar days if they meet the 2.0 GPA and are passing all their classes within the next five school days. Otherwise, they remain ineligible until the next eligibility check
Quarter grades: Must be passing all classes and have a 2.0 GPA or higher
At the end of the quarter, eligibility determination will be made on the first Wednesday of the new quarter. For second semester, the eligibility determination will be made the first Wednesday following the grade check.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Handbook states: “In order to participate in a school-sponsored activity (including practice), students must attend all classes on the day of the school activity or on the last regular day of the week for weekend activities unless otherwise excused by the school.”

- If your son/daughter is an athlete and has a goal to play in college sports, notify your student’s counselor to insure he/she is taking the required “Core Courses” and has the necessary information to meet eligibility. You can access NCAA information at www.ncaa.org.
