The Department of Athletics offers our students a wide variety of interscholastic opportunities. Our goal is for all our students to get involved in our athletic program. So many lessons can be gained from being a part of something bigger than yourself. There is a place for everyone. The qualities that can be learned include teamwork, dedication, desire, hard work, and accomplishing things they never thought they could accomplish. Our responsibility to each of you is to provide the very best we can for each of our student-athletes.

APS Clear Bag Procedure for Sporting Events
-
The initiative is designed to provide a safer, more efficient entry experience for spectators.
To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into Atlanta Public Schools Athletic venues, the APS Office of Safety and Security will implement an Operational Clear Bag Procedure that limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into stadiums, gymnasiums, and other athletic fields.
Prohibited items include but are not limited to coolers, briefcases, non-clear backpacks, non-clear fanny packs, grocery bags, cinch bags, non-approved chairbacks and seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.
Spectators will be able to carry the following style and size bag at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or when approaching lines of fans awaiting entry into the stadium:
- Tote bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”.
- One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
- Small clutch bags with or without a handle or strap, no larger than approximately the size of a hand), can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bag options.
- Diapers and wipes may be carried in a permissible 12”x6”x12” clear bag (diaper bags are not permitted).
Metal detector screening and a search of all items being carried in may take place at all APS Athletic Venues. There are no provisions available to store or safeguard any prohibited bags.
An exception will be made for medically necessary items or baby items after proper inspection at a gate by the respective gate supervisor.
Non-approved chairbacks/seat cushions include large traditional seat cushions that have pockets, zippers, compartments, or covers.
Outside food or drinks (water, soda, etc.) are not allowed in the stadium.
