ATHLETIC CODE

We recognize that the use and possession of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, drugs and other controlled substances has a potentially detrimental effect on individuals. Use of these substances hamper the development of both the physical skills and mental attitudes needed to succeed in interscholastic athletics as well as representing non-healthy choices in life. Students representing Ephrata Schools in athletics will agree to refrain from the use and possession of these substances at all times. Students are not to attend any function where these substances are being illegally used.

Criminal acts, such as theft or vandalism, are also a violation of the athletic code.

It is important that students and parents / guardians understand the expectations of the athletic code. We encourage parents / guardians to discuss this topic with their child.
