As such, we welcome all students in 1st - 6th grade that reside within the boundary of Pieper High Schools feeder, to include students who attend private school, homeschool etc. HCYFL is a grade first league that promotes loyalty to its school districts, so you MUST PROVIDE PROOF that you reside within Pieper High Schools feeder.
