Our Athletics & Extracurriculars

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, CLUBS, AND ORGANIZATIONS (All Grade Levels)
HISD schools empower students to discover their interests and grow beyond the classroom through a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. In this section, you’ll find information about extracurricular opportunities and student clubs offered on campus. 

Participation in school-sponsored activities is an excellent way for a student to develop talents, receive individual recognition, and build strong friendships with other students; Participation, however, is a privilege, not a right. Participation in some of these activities may result in events that occur off-campus. When the district arranges transportation for these events, students are required to use the transportation provided by the district to and from the events. Exceptions to this may only be made with the approval of the activity’s coach or sponsor. 
 
Eligibility for initial and continuing participation in many of these activities is governed by state law and the rules of the University Interscholastic League (UIL), a statewide association overseeing inter-district competition. 
 
If a student is involved in an academic, athletic, or music activity governed by UIL, the student and parent are expected to know and follow all rules of the UIL organization. 
 
Students involved in UIL athletic activities, and their parents can access the UIL Parent Information Manual at https://www.uiltexas.org/athletics/manuals; a hard copy can be provided by the coach or sponsor of the activity on request.
 
In addition, the following provisions apply to all extracurricular activities:
A student who receives at the end of a grading period a grade below 70 in any academic class other than an Advanced Placement course; or an honors or dual credit course in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, economics, or language other than English may not participate in extracurricular
