Athletic & Fine Arts Event Updates
- To ensure student safety at Hays, all students who attend campus events as spectators are required to be picked up by 8:00 p.m. or shortly after the event ends, whichever comes first, unless they are attending the event with a parent. Students who are not picked up on time may lose the privilege of attending future events.
- For ANY ticketed athletic or fine arts event, spectators must utilize the Clear Bag policy.
- We encourage everyone to plan ahead and have a card or digital payment method ready before attending events. Cash will no longer be accepted at these activities.
