A student who becomes emancipated shall be deemed not to have made a bona fide change of residence. In order for a student to be immediately eligible, both the former and present school must complete a transfer form affirmatively stating that the transfer is a bona fide change of residence and that there was no athletic recruitment or a transfer for athletic advantage. The parent or guardian will be required to complete an affidavit with proof of present residence to the school. The form will be filed with the NJSIAA and the affidavit maintained by the present school for inspection by the NJSIAA, if necessary. Definition: A bona fide change of residence takes place when the parent\/guardian moves with the student from one public high school district to another public high school district. The term \u201cguardian\u201d refers to that person who has control over the person and property of a child as established by the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

A student in grade 9 transferring from one secondary school to another without a bona fide change of residence by that student\u2019s parents or guardian, shall be ineligible to participate for a period of 30 calendar days which will commence with the first interscholastic game played by the involved school, if that student had participated in that particular sport at the varsity level. A grade nine student who has not participated in a sport at his\/her previous school shall be eligible to participate immediately in any sport at the new school. To prevent possible recruitment or transfer for athletic advantage, a Transfer Form must be executed by the two involved schools and filed with the NJSIAA before any interscholastic participation. \u00a0Please make an appointment with the Guidance Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"Sports\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sports at NHHS by Season<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\">During the current scholastic year, we will compete in the following interscholastic Sports:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Fall Season<\/span> &#8211;\u00a0 Football, Boys&#8217; Soccer, Girls&#8217; Soccer, Boys&#8217; Cross Country, Girls&#8217; Cross Country, Cheerleading*, Field Hockey, Girls&#8217; Tennis, Gymnastics and Volleyball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Winter Season<\/span> &#8211; Boys&#8217; Basketball, Girls&#8217; Basketball, Boys&#8217; Fencing, Girls&#8217; Fencing, Boys&#8217; Indoor Track, Girls&#8217; Indoor Track, Cheerleading*, Wrestling*, Girls&#8217; Swimming, Boys&#8217; Swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Spring Season <\/span>&#8211; Baseball, Softball, Boys&#8217; Lacrosse, Girls&#8217; Lacrosse, Golf*, Boys&#8217; Tennis, Boys&#8217; Track, Girls&#8217; Track,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\">* Coed<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"Responsibilities\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Athlete Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\">We expect our student athletes to be a credit to their parents, coaches, school, and community.\u00a0 To this end it is imperative tat each athlete:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px\">1.
