Student athletes at Cottage Grove High School represent their school, district, and community at all times and in all places. Participants are students first – then athletes. Throughout the entire year, our student athletes conduct themselves in a way that reflects RESPECT-INTEGRITY-EXCELLENCE. The District desires to help students make healthy choices. This policy is intended to assist student athletes to say “no" when faced with difficult situations. The expectations for our student-athletes are outlined in this document. Coaches at Cottage Grove High School shall encourage and support multi-sport athletes. Multi-sport athletes shall receive incentives and recognition. CGHS coaches are committed to building and teaching a culture of excellence; to empower our youth to succeed in the classroom, athletic competition, and life.
