Harrison Central, according to state rules, has adopted a policy to excuse from the high school physical education requirement each student who, during high school, participates in interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading for at least two full seasons (according to the state, no other activities, show choirs, non-school-sponsored athletics, etc. will be counted). If a student chooses to pursue this waiver option, the student will not be required to complete any Physical Education course as a condition to graduate. However, the student will still be required to complete one-half credit in another course of study. The waiver requires participation “for at least two full seasons.” If a student was “cut” or quit the activity at any time during the season, it cannot be used to meet the two-season requirement. In addition, participation in one full season will not allow a student to earn partial credit. They must be filled out completely and filed with the guidance office immediately following the end of each season. The following activities can be used to waive the physical education requirement: Baseball, Basketball (Boys & Girls), Bowling, Cross Country, Cheerleading (Football), Cheerleading (Basketball), Cheerleading (Competition), Football, Golf, Marching Band, Soccer, Softball, Track, Volleyball, Wrestling. Forms are available in the guidance office, for anyone wishing to use this option or here:
