All spectators must adhere to the etiquette of the active sport as well as the code of conduct set forth by the school. All school-sponsored activities follow school guidelines and the Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline.

Students must be on grade level since promotion from grade 8. A student only has four (4) years of eligibility during high school. The student cannot turn nineteen (19) before August 1st of the school year for which athletic participation is desired. The student must be passing four (4) instructional hours in the week prior to any athletic contest in order to meet Kentucky High School Athletic Association rules for eligibility. The FCHS Office of Activities and Athletics will monitor weekly grade checks, six week reports, and semester reports. Resources will continue to be used to intervene as early as possible to prevent potential failures. The school principal or designee will appoint an appeal committee should a parent or student request an appeal to review circumstances that prevent a student from meeting the above-mentioned criteria.

The KHSAA Handbook states that football and basketball participants CANNOT compete in any sport as it relates to outside competition during the season.

FCHS pays an annual membership fee to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA). The KHSAA serves as a governing body, followed by JCPS, and then FCHS. Questions and concerns in each sport can be addressed first by the coach, secondly by the athletic director or principal, then by contacting the office of Activities/Athletics at (502) 485-3331, and finally the KHSAA at (859) 299-5472.
