Athletics

Participating in athletics during middle school is important because it helps students develop healthy habits, build confidence, and learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Athletics provide a positive outlet for energy, reduce stress, and support physical and mental well-being during a crucial stage of growth and development. Beyond the physical benefits, being part of a team fosters friendships, encourages responsibility, and strengthens a sense of community—setting the foundation for success both in and out of the classroom.

Afterschool Clubs & Activities

Afterschool clubs and activities are a key part of a well-rounded education, offering students meaningful opportunities to explore their interests, strengthen academic skills, and develop important social and emotional competencies. These programs provide a supportive environment beyond the traditional classroom, where students can build confidence, form connections, and grow as individuals. Research shows that consistent participation in afterschool activities is linked to lower dropout rates and stronger college and career readiness, making them an essential component of student success.
