Student-Athletes will uphold the highest level of sportsmanship and will control their words and actions so that they always appear in control of themselves.
The administration of this school has made it clear to coaches, parents, and athletes that hazing and initiations are never to be part of our program. The administration of Newark Memorial High School has adopted a “Zero Tolerance” policy in regards to the hazing or initiation of students and athletes into clubs or teams.
Any student who participates or who witnesses and does not attempt to stop or report the violation is subject to disciplinary action. If the violation is severe enough the disciplinary action could be possible legal action.
Act Detrimental to the Good of the School
If a student is involved in an act which is deemed detrimental to the good of the school his or her participation on the athletic team is subject to termination immediately. i. i.e. Fighting, stealing, cheating and being disrespectful to students, teachers, or administrators
All cases will be looked at on a case by case basis. A decision will come from the principal, the Athletic Directors, and the Coach
We believe the opportunity to participate in our athletic program is a privilege, not a right. Therefore all student-athletes are expected to maintain a high standard of behavior as well as academic excellence. In order to remain as an athlete in good standing, an athlete must meet the requirements and fulfill the responsibilities outlined in this Student-Athlete Agreement. Failure to adhere to the terms and conditions of this agreement could result in a loss of the student's athletic participation at NJHS.
