Declaration for Athletic Participation and
Letter of Intent to Apply for School Choice
The Minnesota State High
School League (MSHSL) allows 9th grade students to compete in senior
high school athletics. Ninth-graders
who plan to open enroll into an ISD
279 senior high school other than the one assigned to their residence
and who wish to participate in 9th grade athletics at their senior
high school of choice must “declare” their intent to continue to be enrolled at
that senior high for grades 10‑12. To obtain the Declaration form, please log on
to Park Center’s website, www.district279.org/sec/pcsh
and go to “Athletics: Registration Forms” or the form can be obtained in the
Athletic Office at Park Center.
Important: While 9th graders may participate
in their senior high school of choice, all 7th and 8th
grade students must participate in programs at the senior high school assigned
to their residence.
