Junior High Activity Program

Participation in junior high school activities serves many purposes:  improving previously learned skills or learning new ones, making new friends, and developing team and school spirit.  Many activities offer students the opportunity for physical exercise.  Hopefully, all students learn more about themselves and their capabilities as they interact with their peers in the activity program.

The following activities are open to 7th and 8th graders.  Supervising adults are staff members who either volunteer or are under contract to help with these activities.
