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)
