Athletic Events Bag Policy 

Athletic Events Bag Policy 

Cardinal Gibbons limits the size and types of bags permitted at all athletic events, including but not limited to football games, basketball games, wrestling matches, and other athletic events.

This policy enhances security and promotes a safer environment. It emerged from the school's continuous evaluation of its athletic security protocols in collaboration with the Raleigh Police Department.
