To earn a letter, a student-athlete or club member must attend at least 75% of all team or club events (meetings, practices, contests/games/matches, fundraisers, special events), and be part of the team or club in good academic and citizenship standing. This requirement is based on the results of a school-wide survey. Each sport or club may have it's own additional awards, and because of the differences in many sports and clubs, each team or club may set their own requirements.

There are two completely different options for those interested in purchasing a letter jacket.

1. A traditional wool and leather letterjacket can be purchased with these instructions and going to the actual brick and mortar Jostens store in Poway.
2. A less expensive fleece sweatshirt material letterjacket can be purchased through the online Jostens BHS store website. You can either customize it there with simple silkscreen ink words and letters, or you can delete the default image and words and order it blank, and then bring it to the Poway store to pay them to sew the patches you have earned, or save money and bring it to your own tailor or skilled family member.
