Extracurricular Opportunities

The Hillsboro-Deering School District recognizes the importance of the extracurricular experience in the total development of the student.  We view the extracurricular program as curricular in nature and we feel that, through these activities, our students develop commendable traits.  We support our extracurricular programs, which provide a unique experience where students can develop and refine important attributes.

The Hillsboro-Deering School District supports the idea that student participation is a privilege and an honor, which carries with it inherent responsibilities.  Students have every right to express an interest and to tryout for our club and athletic teams, however it is a privilege to be selected as a club or team member.  This privilege can be taken away at any time.  When a student accepts the privilege, they must live up to a Code of Conduct beyond that of the general student body, on and off school property and between sports seasons and academic years.  Students who participate in extracurricular activities and in athletics comprise much of the visible student leadership.  These individuals project an image to the community and to younger students.  The responsibility inherent in participation carries with it a number of opportunities for personal growth and benefits for the participant.
