• Safety and Security Reminders for 2024-2025

    As we move further into the school year, our sports and after-school activities will ramp up, and we expect you will join us in keeping our campuses and facilities safe.

    First and foremost, we expect every visitor to our activities to be respectful toward the athletes, thespians, band members, staff, administrators, other guests, and law enforcement partners working at our events.

    All guests to our district stadiums are required to adhere to our Clear Bag Policy. When guests come to our facilities, they will not be permitted into the activities with any bag other than a clear bag. The bags also may not be larger than 12 by 12 inches and 6 inches deep. For more information on the Clear Bag Policy, visit our Safety and Security page: https://www.rock-hill.k12.sc.us/Page/9159

    Weapons are not permitted on school property – including during sporting events, forums, and arts performances - unless you are a sworn law enforcement officer permitted to carry with proper identification. Our Safety and Security team will be working entrances to many of our events to screen guests for weapons.

    Entry to District Stadiums
    This year we have revised our entry guidelines for high school football games to promote a safer environment for our community.

    • All district high school students must have a ticket/pass and show their school-issued student ID to attend a high school athletic competition without a parent or guardian. 
    • If the visiting team is not a Rock Hill School District school, students from that school must show their school ID and have a ticket in order to be able to attend the event without a parent or guardian.
    • Anyone without a school-issued ID, under the age of 18, must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult.
    • Middle school students must have an adult accompany them at sporting events. No middle school students will be permitted to stay at games unaccompanied.
    • Guests to our events will not be allowed to stand, congregate, or “hang out” in the concourse or around the concession stand areas during the games.
    • Any violation of rules may result in removal or being trespassed. 

    Our safety and security team will continue collaborating with the Rock Hill Police Department and York County Sheriff’s Office to ensure everyone can feel comfortable and safe in our facilities.
