HCPS ATHLETIC TICKET PRICES

There has been an increase in unaccompanied students younger than high school age attending high school football games that has resulted in safety and security issues and concerns. In the interest of providing a safe and secure environment for all sporting event attendees, for the 2018-2019 and all subsequent school years, we will require that elementary and middle school students be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult for all football games. Unaccompanied children who are younger than high school age will not be admitted to the football games. Thank you for your understanding.
