Introduction & Mission Statement

The Clinton Central School District proudly educates and empowers all students to realize their potential in becoming thoughtful, empathetic, and contributing members of a global society.

Welcome to Clinton Central Schools Extracurricular Activities and Interscholastic Athletics Program.

Extracurricular activities and Interscholastic Athletics are vital parts of the District’s educational program. The District’s primary objective is to offer meaningful and rewarding learning experiences that encourage both individual and group development in a safe, supportive environment outside of the regular school day. Involvement in afterschool activities is a privilege, one that fosters lifelong skills and personal growth not always found in the traditional classroom setting.

By choosing to take part in extracurricular programs, students accept a set of responsibilities and expectations. This handbook is designed to help students and their parents or guardians understand those expectations by clearly outlining the rules, policies, procedures, and guidelines that govern participation.

The rules outlined here are in effect throughout the calendar year and apply to all students in grades 7-12. Participation in these activities is a privilege, not a right. Students must follow the expectations set forth in this handbook in order to participate.

In addition to this Handbook and all associated District policies and regulations, the Interscholastic Athletic Program as well as all coaches, students, and parents involved, must comply with the policies, bylaws, and regulations of the Center State Conference, Section III Athletics, and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA).
