The Athletic Commitment to Excellence fee is collected to offset the considerable expense of running an athletic program that serves more than 2600 student-athletes in grades 7-12.
ACE fees are not subject to recapture by the state, so every dollar collected stays here in HPISD.
How much is the ACE fee?
$300 per student, per year. While many students participate in more than one sport, only one ACE fee is required each year.
(A recommended increase of $50 added to the ACE fee was approved by the school board at the June 2018 meeting which will take the total for ACE fees to $300 per athlete. This is the first increase to the fee since its inception in 1994.)
Where does the ACE fee go?
The ACE fees are collected and deposited into the general fund out of which the Athletic Department expenses are paid.
What about students whose families cannot afford to pay the fee?
Students whose families cannot afford to pay the ACE fee may set up a payment plan, make a partial payment or apply for a hardship waiver. HPISD and its booster clubs are committed to giving every student the opportunity to participate in athletics.
