Exciting news to all of our SLHS Students:

Starting this year, students enrolled in the San Leandro High School Marching Program (Marching Band / Drumline / Pit Percussion / Guard) now have the opportunity to earn Physical Education (PE) credit for their participation. This allows students to fulfill their PE requirements while being part of an enriching musical program. However, to be eligible for PE credit, students must meet the following criteria:

1. Students must complete a minimum of 75 hours of practice, conditioning, & competition under the direct supervision of a school approved teacher or coach.

2. Students MUST complete the season of activity.

3. Student MUST be in the program for 2 consecutive years to earn the credit.

4. Interscholastic athletes must maintain eligibility as defined by the C.I.F., including maintaining a 2.0 gpa for both quarters.

5. Students will receive a Pass (P) on their transcript. Each successfully completed season equals 5 credits.  A maximum number of 5 credits can be waived per season, regardless of total amount of hours.  There is NO partial credit.

6. Seniors who are short five or more credits of Physical Education must be enrolled in a Physical Education class.  *They may not anticipate completion of a school related physical activity in lieu of being enrolled in a Physical Education class.

By meeting these requirements, students can enjoy the benefits of being in the marching band while also fulfilling part of their PE graduation requirement, allowing them to focus more on their academic and extracurricular interests.
