The interscholastic activity program in the Cobb County School System is an important part of the educational process. It provides opportunities for learning experiences in athletics which are difficult to
duplicate in other school activities. The activity program teaches attitudes of responsible team play and cooperation. The program provides a vehicle for learning mental and physical self-discipline, loyalty, personal pride in the school, respect for the rights of others, and the will to win. Participation in interscholastic activity programs in the Cobb County School System is entirely voluntary. The opportunity to participate in the program is extended to all eligible students who are willing to
assume the responsibilities congruent with the privilege.
All high schools in the Cobb County School District which offer athletics are members of the Georgia High School Association:
- The GHSA is a voluntary organization composed of 385 public and private high schools. It strives to promote good sportsmanship and a cooperative spirit among its member schools. It endeavors to maintain high
standards so that each pupil competing in each school is on the same basis. In the field of athletics its interest is the safety of the participants; it is on this principle that its athletic rules are based.
- The GHSA operates under a Constitution and By-Laws which outlines the scope and purpose of the Association. It contains the standards of eligibility to be met by high school pupils for attaining the privilege
of participation in interschool contests, and rules controlling the participation among schools. By adoption of the Constitution and By-Laws through its membership, member schools have by their initiative acted
to operate and discipline their interscholastic activities and contests.” (GHSA Constitution and By-Laws 2004-2004)
