Parents/Guardians of Athletes

When your child participates in the school interscholastic athletic program, the parents/guardians of these student-athletes also commit themselves to certain responsibilities and obligations, which are outlined in the Athletic Handbook . Your signature on the Athletic Contract, along with the signature of your student-athlete, indicates that you understand and accept those responsibilities and obligations and agree to cooperate with school personnel to ensure that the Athletic Code is followed. As fans and spectators of athletic events, parents/guardians of athletes play a special role in supporting their athlete, the coach, and the team. Parents/ Guardians of athletes are expected and encouraged to model good sportsmanship at all times during athletic events. All are invited to join the Athletic Boosters and become part of the longstanding traditions associated with interscholastic athletic support in Forest Hills.

Athletic Event Prices

  • Students: $2 per event
  • Adults: $3 per event
  • Family: $8 per event
