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.
