Expectations of Student Athletes
Our motto: Academics before Athletics
As representatives of Franklin High School, all student athletes are expected to be positive role models both on and off the field.
Attendance on Game Days: Student athletes must be on time every day. On game days, student athletes are required to be on time and attend a minimum of 4 periods that day. Failure to do so will result in the student athlete being unable to participate in any athletic contests.
Academic Eligibility 2.0 + GPA
Your ability to become a member of any high school sport team in LAUSD is based upon a number of factors but one of the most important is your academic eligibility. LAUSD requires a minimum 2.0 GPA (Grade Point Average), or a certain number of grade points, in at least four (4) classes to be eligible to play a sport.
