Extra-Curricular Activities - Student Participation Expectations

Students must display regular attendance in their classes and experience academic success. If a student is not attending regularly or passing their classes, they will not be permitted to participate in any extracurricular activities. Students who are representing the school in any club, team, or group must also be in attendance at school on the day of their participation in club, team or group activities. Students will work with administration and/or team/club/group to develop a plan for success.

Extracurricular Music

Music / Choral 
Involvement in concert band and concert choir gives the serious musicians an opportunity to take center stage. Local events include "Performing Arts Night" and the "Kiwanis Music Festival" as well as other events as they come up. In the spring of 2014 the Band and Choir participated in the "70th Anniversary of DDay" event in collaboration with the local Legion. These groups compete provincially, nationally, and internationally.

Jazz Band / Jazz Cats
Jazz band is for those music students who want to challenge themselves and take their music to new "jazzier" levels. The jazz choir, called the Jazz Cats, is for vocal musicians to sing and scat jazz tunes
