  • Extracurriculars Reflect Student Interests

    Getting Involved in Middle School
Middle School is an ideal time for students to explore and expand upon their individual interests. We recognize that our student body is a melting pot of backgrounds, strengths, and creative abilities. 
Our goal is help students hone their passions and serve as facilitators for their imaginations.

The majority of our clubs are student-proposed so they serve as an accurate reflection of our students. If a student has a particular interest or skill that isn't served by a current club, he or she can work with an advisor to create one. Depending upon the nature of the club, students and teachers meet during lunch, free time, or after school.

A few of clubs are staples to the Middle School; however, due to the fluctuating nature of student interest and leadership, clubs may not be the same from year to year. Some short-term clubs have included screenwriting, zombie apocalypse, mythology, and flag football.
