To participate in a sport at CHS, all students must meet certain academic eligibility requirements.

At the end of each grading period, Cleveland's Athletic Director provides each coach with a list that includes the GPAs of each athlete on his/her team. The coach then uses that information to monitor the academic performance of each athlete.
