Athletic Handbook Signature Page: Student-athletes and their parents are required to read the Athletic Handbook. A copy of this handbook may be found on the Saratoga Athletics webpage or a copy may be obtained from the SHS Main Office.

Uniform Deposit: Uniforms and other school equipment necessary to participate on an athletic team will be issued upon receipt of a $90 deposit check payable to SHS. A uniform will not be issued without a deposit check. This check will not be cashed unless the uniform/equipment is not returned in good condition within one week of the end of the season or when the athlete leaves the team.

Eligibility: To be academically eligible to participate in an athletic contest, a student must receive a minimum grade point average of 2.0 at the last grading period (six week grading period or end of the semester) prior to start of the season and for any grades received during the season.

If you need to purchase insurance, it can be purchased through the school district. The insurance brochure is available in the Student Activities Office.
