    Athletic Code of Conduct

     

     

    Brighton High School has established rules which all students must follow if they wish to participate in an interscholastic program.    Participation in interscholastic sports is a privilege that allows the student to represent themselves, their classmates, school and community. This challenges them to meet standards of behavior and sportsmanship that is worthy of pride by the school community. In addition to these rules, participants are also held to the rules and consequences of the Brighton High School Student Handbook.
