3. Should credit be given for a class, students who participate in noncompetitive events (e.g., half-time show for band, local concerts, school plays, and activities of a noncompetitive nature) are required to meet extracurricular requirements. Noncompetitive options (alternatives) need to be provided for students when credit is earned.  Any activity where the student represents RVHS will be covered by the eligibility policy.
