The High Performance Athlete (HPA) program is designed to provide timetable support to student-athletes who are competing at a provincial, national, or international level in an eligible sport to enable them to attend their regular training and compete during times that would typically conflict with otherwise-regular academic programming.
At this time we can accommodate student athletes arriving at school late(Period 1) or leaving early (Period 4).
