User Fee Information: Once team rosters are set, each athlete must pay the NHS Athletic User Fee of $285.00 per sport per season before the first regularly scheduled interscholastic contest in order to receive a uniform and to be eligible to compete.

Ice Hockey and Alpine Ski families should also be advised that a $300.00 surcharge per player has been implemented for all students who make one of the NHS teams (Varsity/JV Boys or Girls Ice Hockey, Varsity/JV Boys or Girls Alpine Skiing) for ice time/skiing passes. Additionally, all Swimmers and Divers (Varsity/JV Boys or Girls) will be charged a $50.00 surcharge for pool time.

User Fee and/or Surcharge checks should be made out to: NHS Athletics and should include the name of the student-athlete and which sport the fee is covering. Checks should be brought or mailed into the Athletic Office. If you choose to mail in the User Fee, please be aware that until the check is received and processed, the athlete will not be eligible to participate in any sport. Please note that there is a 4-sport Family Cap per school year (surcharges do not count towards the Family Cap).

Request for Reduction of Athletic User Fee Form: If a student qualifies for the Free or Reduced Lunch Plan, the student is also eligible to receive a reduced Athletic User Fee of $50.00, but must fill out a Request for Reduction of Athletic User Fee Form to receive the discount. All families also have the ability to submit a Request for Reduction Form, which will be reviewed and either accepted/denied on a case-by-case basis. Request for Reduction Forms are available in the Athletic Office and if accepted, reduce the User Fee for the given season to $100.00 per athlete. Request for Reduction Forms must be submitted prior to each season of participation.
