STUDENTS

The school’s instructional emphasis leaves little time for many activities common to the traditional high school, in particular, organized athletics. However, the school does offer the following opportunities:

• Student Council.  Students elect leaders for advocacy and to coordinate student events.
• ASFA Ambassadors.  Student volunteers serve as guides to visitors and ushers at performances.
• Peer helpers. The peer mentoring program matches older students with younger students in one-on-one relationships.  Through this special relationship, peer mentors provide advice and support and serve as role models for younger students.
• Publications. Students produce Performance (the school yearbook) and may submit articles to Applause (the monthly PTSO newsletter).
• Academic Bowl, Math Team, Science Olympiad, Odyssey of the Mind.  School teams compete with area, state and regional secondary schools.
• Field trips. The school organizes a variety of trips relating to its educational offerings.
• National Honor Society. Recognizing outstanding upperclassmen for scholarship, leadership, service and character, NHS also performs an annual community service project.
• Mu Alpha Theta. An honorary organization recognizing excellence in mathematics.
• Community service. The school cooperates in a number of community service activities led by students, faculty and community service agencies.
• Special events. Students and faculty organize dances, parties and other non-curricular events.
