Student Life

Students benefit from a variety of programs, such as Youth Appreciation Night at Clipper Stadium, and career development. We offer recognition activities for our students who demonstrate exceptional performance in academics, athletics and good citizenship. When appropriate, our students are involved in study trips that support our academic programs, including a 8th grade trip to Washington, DC. One of the most prestigious activities is the National Junior Honor Society. Students are inducted based on academic excellence at the end of the seventh grade.

Students can develop special interests through instrumental and vocal music, sports (grades seven and eight), and art exhibits. Academic activities include: Math Counts, Power of the Pen, STEM, Young Women in Science, Debate, MLK Youth Oratorical Contest, National Mock Trial, Robotics, RC Car club and the Spelling Bee.
