Get Involved - For Students

Athletic Participation - HS:
The Athletic Department at Gavit HS would like to encourage your son or daughter to participate in our athletic programs. At this time, many of our fall sports teams are already forming. Please contact your coach at Gavit to join any team. During the fall, we offer volleyball and cross country. Boys' sports are football, cross-country, tennis and soccer. Some teams have Freshman and JV, as well as Varsity competition. Your student will need a physical exam to compete in HS athletics. The forms may be picked up in the Main Office and taken to your family doctor for completion. Please return the completed physical form to your coach. You must have this form on file to participate or practice. All athletes and their parent/guardian are also required to read and sign the Extra-Curricular Handbook and return the Agreement Page to the Athletic Director. There may be a minimal equipment fee. Please plan to pay all required fees at the beginning of each sports season. No student will be permitted to compete or practice until this obligation is met. Students are in school to acquire a sound and meaningful education. In order to participate in athletics, a student is expected to do well in the classroom. The Indiana HS Athletic Association requires each student to be enrolled in and pass five solid subjects or four solids and physical education class. Your student's eligibility is determined on this basis. Attendance in school, as well as athletics, is vital to any student's education. Please try to promote perfect attendance in all school areas.

For the MS level, students must be on the honor roll 3 times in each year, have no "F's" or "D's", no suspensions or "DAR's".

Sign Language Club:
Any age/grade level can join the Sign Language Club on campus. The Hearing Impaired program came to Gavit in 1986. The club tries to introduce sign language to those who wish to learn this way of communicating with the hearing impaired. The club formerly met after school, but to accommodate those with athletic and work schedules, they now meet at 7:30 am on Tuesdays. They have sponsored several deaf students for summer camps or programs. There are no fees to join and their goal is to expand a student's horizons. For more information or questions, contact Mrs. Lontz at the school or via email.

Student Council gives the students the voice in what events take place and the kinds of things they can accomplish as a MS with active members. Student Council can achieve a lot in MS! The MS Student Council meets on Thursdays at 7:30 am in room 211. They hope to be able to sponsor dances, spirit week activities, food/clothing drives and many other activities. This is a great way to get involved when you're new to Gavit in the 6th grade community. You will have the opportunity to meet a lot of different people and will have input about the kinds of things you want to happen in MS. "Together, we'll have a great time!" There are no fees to join, but the student must be in 6th, 7th or 8th grade. To join or for further information or questions, contact Allison Amptmeyer at the school.
