Alton High School Changes Athletic And Activity Spectator Policy Because Of COVID-19

ALTON - Alton High School Athletic Director Chris Kusnerick on Thursday afternoon released a new Athletic and Activity Spectator Policy for the school going forward as of January 6, 2022. The policy will be used until another change is made, Kusnerick said.

These are the Alton High School Spectator Policy Changes:

Two tickets will be given to all rostered participants (both Home and Away) for each contest to be distributed to family members or guardians. Please maintain social
distancing at all times.

Boys/Girls Bowling will be limited to two family members or guardians and must maintain social distancing at all times. No tickets will be distributed at this time.

No admission charged (FREE admittance for ticket-holding spectators)

These adjustments are being made as a safety precaution to protect the student-athletes, spectators, and staff.
