Student Athlete Handbook
We encourage students and parents to contact the Athletic Director’s office for clarification of any policy or procedure listed in this handbook. It is our goal to provide a safe, sound, and enjoyable athletic experience for all SCASD student-athletes.
SCASD PHILOSOPHY OF ATHLETICS
The Board of School Directors believes that the purpose of an interscholastic athletic program is to provide learning experiences that will contribute to the personal, physical and psychological development of the individual student athlete. These learning experiences will be consistent with the educational goals of the State College Area School District as outlined in its Statement of Organizational Purpose and will complement the academic program of the District. Hence, participation in interscholastic athletics can serve an important role in meeting the needs of secondary level students within the total educational process. The interscholastic athletic program will be increasingly competitive as students progress from the middle school through the ninth grade and junior varsity to the varsity level.
