Tipton Catholic High School is a member of the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA). All Tipton Catholic High School students who participate in activities must conform to the eligibility requirements of this association. Academic eligibility will be determined on the following weekly basis. On Monday of each week all teachers will give a list of any students that are earning a “D” or “F” in their class. Parents will be notified and “D” students will be placed on probation, but allowed to participate. Any student earning an “F” will not be eligible to practice or participate in any extracurricular activity for one week. Grades will again be turned in the following Monday when participation may be reinstated if the grades have improved. A failing grade will not carry over from one grading period (9 weeks) to another. Thus, each student will be given a new start at the beginning of each grading period.

Students will not be eligible to participate or practice in school activities unless they attend school on the day the activity is scheduled or by special permission from the principal.

Due to the cost of extracurricular activities and the rising cost of needed equipment, Tipton Catholic High School will pay the St. John’s Booster Club an activity fee of $75 per student to help maintain the quality of these programs and allow those participating to help cover some of the program’s expenses.

• Student Organizations
  Any club in the school is obliged to have on file in the office a copy of its constitution, officers, and membership and to clear well in advance any planned activity with the principal.
• Speech & Drama
  Any Tipton Catholic High School student who meets the eligibility requirements for interscholastic activities and is selected by the speech instructor may participate in speech and drama competition. This is done on the local, league, regional and state levels.
• Sportsmanship
  Each student involved in an activity offered at Tipton Catholic High School is recognized as an official representative of the school and the community. Conduct and sportsmanship on and off the school premises should display the highest possible standards. Thus, good sportsmanship is expected of the students and fans at all competitive events. Courtesy toward visiting teams, spectators, and officials is essential if the athletic program is to continue as a benefit to the student, the school and the community.
