The mission of our co-curricular program is to provide opportunities for our student athletes, to compete, strive for excellence in their sport, and to develop life skills beyond the classroom. Through the competition of inter scholastic sport, student athletes must maintain strong leadership which prepares them for graduation and life after Jones College Prep.

Athletic/ Eligibility Rules
Co-Curricular involvement is an essential part of the student's development as a well-rounded individual. In addition, highly selective colleges and universities look favorably on teamanship experiences, found in athletics.
Jones College Prep follows all rules as outlined by the IHSA (www.ihsa.org) and the Chicago Public League Athletic Association.
- All student athletes must earn a grade point average of 2.00 to be eligible to participate in athletics at any time during the school.
- A student is ineligible if they fail more than one class at the 20 and 40 week marking periods.
- All student athletes failing on class will be on academic probation and will be considered a Grounded Eagle. A weekly check of academic progress will be implemented by the Athletic Director and/or activity director to help assure that the student is making adequate improvements. In addition failing students will be assigned to a mandatory academic lab. If adequate progress is proven, the student can participate. If a student fails more than one class, she/he is ineligible.
- Any student who is placed on the Activity Ineligibility List is also ineligible until that student can satisfy all outstanding detentions.
Fees, Payment Plans, and Fee Waivers
Fees are collected to support programs that benefit the students. All athletes will pay a participation fee of $15.00 for each sport. Fees must be paid by the deadlines specified.
Sometimes, families face financial hardships. JCP wants all students to be able to participate in programs even when in the midst of a financial crisis. Payment plans and/or fee waivers are available for families who cannot afford to pay fees. Parents should contact the Director of Finance & Operations (773/534-8600, ext 48618) to inquire about these provisions. Fee waivers are not applicable to debts and fines. A payment plan may be worked out for debts and fines with the approval of the Director of Finance and Operations. |
