Dear WHS Students and Parents,
Any student that has participated in interscholastic athletics, marching band or cheerleading for at least two (2) full seasons will be exempted from participation in physical education, if so desired. Students MUST complete the entire season(s) in which they have elected to participate.
Thus, a student who plays any combination of Wooster High School sports at any level - freshman, JV, or varsity or marching band or cheerleading for a total of two (2) seasons is exempt.
In the case of an exemption, the student would be excused from physical education classes, but his/her total number of credits for graduation would not change, therefore they would have to replace physical education with other academic electives or simply take physical education as an elective. The exemption would be noted on the student's official transcript.
In order to facilitate accurate scheduling and record keeping, we require each student to fill out an exemption form. Once both seasons are successfully completed, the student will obtain the verification signature from the Athletic Director and/or Band Director. At that time, the form will be reviewed with the appropriate guidance counselor and the waiver will be reflected on the student’s transcript. Additionally, this form will be kept with the student's cumulative folder.
Please contact Mrs. Mills, Guidance Secretary at 330-345-4000, ext. 3400, with any questions or concerns.
