Lettering & Awards

Lettering and Awards Policies

Athletic lettering is limited to the varsity level. The general qualifications for lettering are extent of competition, participation in the current season, growth in team spirit, dependability, attitude toward practice and training rules, sportsmanship, attitude and behavior in the classroom and on campus, and membership on the team at the end of the season. The specific Lettering Policy for each sport is approved by the Athletic Director.

Students who letter have the privilege of wearing a cloth letter on an Athletic jacket purchased through the Bookstore in conjunction with the Student Services Office. The school letter will bear the insignia patch of the sport in which the student has lettered. There is no distribution of loose letters or insignia patches. No additional decoration may be added to a letterman’s jacket unless it is issued for that express purpose by the school.

At the completion of his freshman year a student who has lettered as a freshman may order a letterman’s jacket through the Bookstore in conjunction with the Student Services Office. The same rule applies to students completing their sophomore, junior, or senior year. The student pays for the jacket. The school pays the cost of the letter and the insignia patch.
