The safety of our students and community is our top priority. Recently, we have had too many children running around the stadium unattended, especially under the bleachers. This is unsafe and will no longer be allowed.
Effective immediately:
Parents are expected to watch their children at all times during the game.
No middle school or elementary student will be allowed to purchase a ticket without a parent present.
All high school students must show their current school ID at the gate. No exceptions.
No student is allowed to sit in the reserved ticket section unless they have a reserved ticket. Any student found in this section without a ticket will be asked by a police officer to leave the game.
We want our football games to remain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. Thank you for helping us make this possible.☠️
