The following are the requirements to participate in athletics while in attendance at HML. These rules have been established by the Florida State Legislature, the Florida High School Athletic Association, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and the Greater Miami Athletic Conference. These rules are as follows:

A student is allowed to make-up one credit or up to 2 half credits during an approved summer session. A student must earn a "C" or better. Only one credit per year can be counted for courses taken in adult education classes. All "F" grades, Incompletes, and "NC's" will be tabulated in the grade point average and will count as 0 points. Eligibility is checked at the conclusion of each semester and at the conclusion of summer school.
