Can my children choose to participate in some public school activities, such as band or sports?
A. At this point, North Carolina homeschooler participation in public school offered activities does not seem to be widespread. Participation is usually determined by the principal at the school your child is interested in attending. The N.C. legislature has authorized the North Carolina High School Athletic Association to govern and administer sports programs in all high schools across the state. Currently no student may participate in any high school sport unless they are enrolled full time at the school in which they wish to participate, a requirement that homeschool students cannot meet.
