The 2025-2026 transfer requests will be available from January 13 through March 6, 2025.
The transfer forms can be downloaded from the links below and must be returned by March 6 to be considered for a decision and notification by the end of May 2025.
No district transportation is provided for any approved transfer. If attendance and discipline become an issue, building principals may cancel an approved transfer.
- Student athletic eligibility is determined by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). Information regarding eligibility is located in Bylaw 4—Student Eligibility, Section 7—Transfers. A copy of the OHSAA Bylaws can be obtained through the athletic office or online at www.ohsaa.org.
- In addition to OHSAA’s eligibility bylaws, the following shall also apply to intra-district transfer requests:
- Students may only participate in the building where academically registered/enrolled.
- A student is ruled eligible and eligibility can only be changed by the OHSAA Commissioner’s office.
- Failure to request a transfer to maintain continuity in an academic program will result in a student’s loss of eligibility.
- If the student’s custodial parent / guardian has moved to another HCSD high school or middle school’s attendance area and the student has requested a consequent change in eligibility, such a request will be automatically submitted to OHSAA for approval.
- In cases of joint custody by parents, eligibility remains at the school where the student initially participated in an interscholastic contest or enrolled.
- In cases of a change of custody, which results in a change of school, the court approval must be submitted to the OHSAA for approval prior to participation.
- Eligibility guidelines apply to all transfers granted in grades 7—12, including from grade 8 to grade 9.
- **Changing middle schools without checking address and home school assignment may result in eligibility issues.**
- Contact the Athletic Department at your high school or middle school with questions on athletic eligibility.
