We host relays and various student/teacher challenges to leave the students with a strong sense of pride for their school.
School dances allow students a safe and structured environment to be social and spend time with friends. They are also a way for students to become involved and demonstrate their creativity through planning and decorating as they participate in Student Council. Student Council uses peer relationships to involve the majority of the student body in the dance process. Students can also take advantage of photo booths that are provided as part of the dance ticket as well as an option to purchase souvenirs to enjoy and commemorate the experience.
Extra-curricular clubs and student organizations also provide students opportunities to connect with the community and one another. From Student Council to Science Olympiad and much more, get involved!
