Hillsborough High School Rowing Club (“HHSRC”) welcomes you and/or your rower to the program. A successful rowing team requires its rowers to practice together so that they learn to act as a single unit. Once the rowing lineup is established, one rower's absence will affect the line-up's practice and can affect their success. Rowers that miss practices due to a lack of transportation and other reasons and their line-ups do not perform as well as those that attend regularly.

Because our rowers succeed by attendance, HHSRC requires that rowers and their parents ensure that they have safe transportation available to them.

This form is required to be completed by all who will take part in carpooling from school to practice. Those that do not complete this form will not allowed to participate in carpools as a driver or a rider.
