Organizations & Activities

Band and Chorus provides students with the opportunity to be a positively contributing member of performing ensembles.  Through the study and performance of music, students gain valuable life experience that leads to academic, social, emotional, and artistic growth.  Students who wish to enroll in these programs need to be prepared to demonstrate respect, responsibility, and accountability at all times.  These qualities support high-level thinking and learning at individual and group levels, as well as an accelerated and enriching standards-based curricular experience for all students.

Nation Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a top honor for academic performance and leadership. Students in NJHS have opportunities to serve their community through school-wide and district-wide programs such as: welcoming new students, working the school store, helping with elementary field days, assisting with community events and parent nights, selling tickets to school dance fundraisers, organizing recycling programs for the school. As a part of the honor society, students can also help to plan future events around their interests. This not only benefits the school and community, but these opportunities look great on job, scholarship and college applications for students.
