Clubs & Activities
Athletics
Engaging in Athletics is an incredible opportunity we offer our students. Joining a school team is frequently linked with enhanced academic achievements, and is a great way to meet new people and stay active. Try-outs for cross-country, basketball and soccer usually start right away. The PE teachers will talk to all students about these opportunities on the first two days back.
Lunchtime
We offer a variety of healthy choices for lunch Monday-Thursday. Weekly menus will be sent home. Daily specials this year were $5.
Learning Technologies & Student Wi-Fi
Digital technologies are transforming how we teach our students. We utilize a range of technology tools to personalize each student’s learning experience, including getting connected to Wi-Fi for seamless access to educational resources.
Off-Site Activities
Keep updated on field-trips and other exciting off-site activities throughout the year. We're excited to expand on learning opportunities by stepping outside of the classroom.
