A GUIDE TO SPORTS, CLUBS, AND
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITES
High School Activities Handbook
2012-2013
Introduction
Dear Students and Parents:
The school experience is more meaningful and enjoyable when a student becomes
involved in student activities such as clubs, extra-curricular programs, and athletics.
Whether the activity is part of the sports program, a club, a special interest
organization, or student government, involvement provides students with an
opportunity to make friends, learn important social skills, develop leadership ability,
and take part in fun activities. Studies indicate that students who participate in extracurricular activities are more likely to be successful in their academic work. It is our
hope that each student finds an activity that is exciting and helps to shape his/her
future.
This handbook provides a brief overview and description of co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities available to students. If you have questions, please contact
the Office of Student Activities.
Sincerely,
E.W. Nowland III, CMAA
