Parents & Students: As we get ready to start our Spring Athletic Season this is an important reminder that sportsmanship is a top priority of GCPS & the Virginia High School League. When attending any games either home or away we ask that you always show proper respect and sportsmanship for officials, players and fans both on and off the field. Any inappropriate actions in the stands or on the playing field cannot be tolerated. Such actions can lead to removal from games, and being prohibited from attending the remainder of the season. Please help us enjoy another successful season by showing extraordinary sportsmanship at all times.
