NCAA Eligibility Requirements

It is the responsibility of the student-athlete and his/her parent(s) to
know the eligibility requirements of the NCAA; your Guidance Counselor
should be contacted if you have any questions about courses that you are
taking. There is also a bulletin board in the locker room area with
pertinent information on it. For your convenience, here is the website that
will explain eligibility rules, core course requirements, the GPA and
college entrance exam sliding scale, among other information you will need
regarding dates, deadlines, etc:

The State Board of education has recently implemented a new policy change which require that every athlete entering the 7th and 9th grade receive a complete well child checkup (also known as an EPSDT screen) prior to participation in sports. This change is effective for the 2008-2009 school year. These forms may be found at http://health.state.tn.us/sportsphysical

Athletic teams at Houston High School strive to be on top, while maintaining a high-level of sportsmanship and dignity.  Opportunities abound for students interested in being a part of the athletic program, with 9 male and 8 female sports offered.  The soccer team, cross country, and cheerleading squads are recognized as being among the best in the nation. Cross Country has won State Titles 3 times in a row.   Houston has received Best of the Preps awards in 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.  Things are only looking up as another year gets underway.
