Activities
At Bisbee High School, there are many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities.
Students involved in extracurricular activities must meet all eligibility requirement currently approved by the BUSD
Governing Board. Any student concerned about his/her progress (as it may have impact on his/her participation) should
see the Academic Counselor or any of his/her current teachers for information about academic status.
Bisbee High School is on semester grading intervals with progress reports every three (3) weeks and report cards every
nine (9) weeks. In order for a student to participate in AIA programs or extracurricular activity he/she must be enrolled
in at least 5 credit bearing classes during their first 6 semester, (semesters 7 and 8 require 4 credit bearing classes).
There will be an eligibility check every three weeks and any student athlete who is below 70% at that
time will be deemed ineligible for one full week. That student athlete’s grade will be checked the
following week to see if they have improved to the 70% level. They will be required to attend
interventions until the grade improves.
Athletics
BHS provides an opportunity for students to participate in interscholastic competition in many sports at the
varsity and junior varsity levels. All athletes and AIA participants must have a physical on file and all forms
completed for each season before participation. Physicals from any country except the United States will not be
accepted by the AIA. See above for participation in extracurricular activities for eligibility requirements.
Activity/Accident Insurance

student’s participating in school-sponsored activities. The school district does not provide for such insurance. A
pamphlet regarding available and affordable insurance may be obtained in the office. Students may not drive
their own personal vehicle to extracurricular activities under any circumstance.
