The athletic program of East Grand Rapids Public Schools is an integral part of the educational process. Our philosophy is to encourage individuals to participate in interscholastic competition that contributes to an enhanced level of physical fitness, strategic thinking, situational analysis, and interpersonal skill. This objective is accomplished in the team environment that rewards discipline, loyalty, and fair play.

A fee of $250.00 per sport, per season is required for participation. These funds are necessary to operate the high school interscholastic athletic program. The interscholastic athletic program in the EGR Public Schools is an entirely voluntary program based on activities outside a student's regular academic school day. Credit is not granted for such activities; participation is not part of any academic course and is not required for progression from grade to grade. The athletic department programs are part of the schools' co-curricular activities and afford students the privilege of participation in competitive sports. 

Checks payable to EGR Athletics can either be mailed or dropped off at the Athletic Office - 2211 Lake Drive SE.

Participation Fees can now also be paid with a credit card.
East Grand Rapids Public Schools is implementing the SchoolPay credit card processing system for school-related activities and fundraisers. In the coming weeks and months, you will begin to see the option to pay for many school and PTO/Boosters-related items with SchoolPay. This system is intended to provide a convenient, safe and secure option of paying by credit card in exchange for a small processing fee. SchoolPay charges parents 3% of the total cost of items purchased plus 30 cents per item.
