Due to limitations on the district provided athletics budget, it has
become necessary to charge a participation fee for students wishing to
participate in Walnut Hills athletics. This fee allows us to maintain the scope
of programs we provide, allowing students to have a wide variety of opportunities
for involvement in activities beyond the school day.
The participation fee per sport is $70 for all high school sports and
$40 for all junior high sports.
Payments should not be made until the student has been selected for a
team
IMPORTANT: Please be aware as well that the fee does NOT guarantee
playing time, only the opportunity to be on the team if selected.
