For winter sports contests in the high school gymnasium, use the Pearl Street entrance.

Pick-up & Drop-Off Locations for Student Athletes
Pick-up of athletic teams will take place in front of the high school on the island at the edge of the circle. Return drop-off will take place behind the high school, at the end of Wright Drive. Parents should plan on picking-up their children in this area.

Thank you for assistance and patience during renovations
The Greater Johnstown School District extends its gratitude to all who assisted while Knox Field was under construction. Thank you to the Gloversville Enlarged School District for the generous use of Husky Field for both a home football game and the marching band home show; to the Broadalbin-Perth Central School District for hosting two home football games; to Mr. Adam Barnhart, athletic director of the Broadalbin-Perth School District, and Mr. Michael DeMagistris, athletic director of the Gloversville school district, for their cooperation and assistance throughout the scheduling process; and to the administration and buildings and grounds staffs of both districts, who made us feel welcome and at home while at their facilities.

Thank you to our community and our school; to all of our fans who made the trip to whatever field we were calling home each week; and to all the volunteers, class advisors, students and support staff who help to make an event run smoothly.

Most importantly, thank you to all of our seniors, who have been patient and accepting of whatever has been dealt to them this fall, so that students of the future may benefit. The class and dedication you have shown will take you far in life.

Notice Regarding Events At Knox: Remember To Be Respectful And Please Stay Off the Hill
Events at Knox Field are enjoyed by students and faculty, as well as the other members of our community. All event attendees are asked to remember to be respectful of fellow spectators and event participants. Parents are also reminded to please supervise their children.

The hill at Knox is not to be used as a play or pastime area. For the safety of all, people should refrain from playing, sliding or engaging in any other activity on the hill. Police at Knox events are instructed to ask student spectators who fail to follow this rule to sit with their parents. If, however, the inappropriate behavior continues, the offenders may be asked to leave the event.
