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.

 

 

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.
