HCSS offers a wide range of varsity and junior varsity sports including basketball, volleyball, soccer, cross country, track & field, tennis, cheerleading, and wrestling. Our athletics program balances competition and character development, promoting both academic excellence and school spirit.
At HCSS High School, athletics are an extension of the classroom. Our student-athletes learn grit, sportsmanship, and leadership while maintaining strong academics. Train hard, support your team, and represent the Wolves with pride.
This updated policy will raise the standards for student-athletes at Hampden Charter School of Science, while not eliminating opportunities for students to participate and benefit from the values of educational athletics. The implementation of these new policies will better prepare our student-athletes for their post-graduate futures. The new practices that will be in place offer the appropriate academic support to justify these increased standards that our student-athletes will be held to.

All student-athletes will be placed in a study hall monitored by the Athletic Director.
Students are required to actively participate in out-of-class assignments in their study hall. This will be no different for the student-athlete study hall. However, each individual student in this study hall will be vigilantly and actively monitored by the Athletic Director or coach in charge of the study hall.
Students who the athletic director (or staff in charge of study hall) deems was not following study hall guidelines will not be allowed to participate in that day’s activity (contest or practice). If there is no scheduled activity that day, the punishment will carry over to the next activity.
This will be a requirement of senior student-athletes as well.
Any team who less than 2.7 GPA in average has based on their previous marking period grades, will have extended study hall.
Final marking period grades will determine a student’s eligibility for the next marking period.
At the end of each quarter, discipline points will be checked. At an academic checkpoint if a student is above 10 discipline points, sent to ASR more than 5 times, or receive ISS/OSS, he/she will be in probation.
