ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
The Sacred Heart High School athletic program serves the
purpose of offering important co-curricular activities to
students. Athletic competition and participation provides
students with a sense of commitment and camaraderie.
Participants enjoy the physical, mental, and emotional
expression that accompanies athletic participation.
All students are encouraged to
try out for our teams. Participation in the athletic program
is a privilege granted in return for compliance with school
policies regarding attendance and academic achievement.
The Board of Education of the City of Yonkers, who maintains
healthcare jurisdiction over Sacred Heart High School,
requires that each year, in order for a student to participate
in athletic competition, an athletic Health History Form must
be completed and signed by a parent/guardian and a physical
examination be done by the school doctor or their private care
physician.
INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS
Students
must pay an athletic fee for each sport they participate in.
All fees must be paid before any uniform will be distributed.
Students may also be denied this privilege if there is an
academic or disciplinary problem.

SPECTATOR CONDUCT
Students
are reminded that being a “Sacred
Heart Student” requires appropriate behavior at all
athletic events. Students and parents should cheer for Sacred
Heart High School, never root against or mock opponents. Be
considerate of opposing players, fans, coaches and officials.
The behavior of opposing fans should never be used as an
excuse for rude or obnoxious behavior. Remember all rules of
conduct apply at athletic events on or off campus.
Unacceptable sportsmanship or behavior will result in removal
from the athletic event and a referral to the Assistant
Principal’s office.
