What are extracurricular Activities?
HOW can you explore things that you're interested in, find friends with similar interests, meet new people, and practice important skills like team work, responsibility and respecting diversity? YOU COULD BE A PART OF A TEAM OR CLUB! Being involved in teams and clubs in Middle School and High School is a great way to achieve all of these things, plus have lots of fun! There are so many options! Performing Arts, Academic Clubs, Service Clubs, Honor Society, Hobby Clubs, Student Government, School Newspaper, JROTC, not to mention all of the sports available. BONUS: Colleges LOVE it when students participate in these EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (any activity that you do outside of school) Doing these activities shows that you have passion and interests OUTSIDE of the classroom. Colleges offer lots of cool extracurricular options too, so you can even continue your activity if you decide to go to college or community college!

Students who participate in extracurricular activities at their school, including athletics, benefit from their participation in so many ways! These activities: 1. Promote a sense of accomplishment; 2. Provide leadership opportunities; 3. Promote good sportsmanship; 4. Encourage self-discipline and individual responsibility; 5. Encourage cooperation and concepts of team building; and 6. Provide healthy outlets for competition and physical fitness.

Cadets are never under any obligation to join the military. If they decide to, however, they may be eligible to enter at a higher level: private second class (paygrade of E-2), or private first class (pay grade E-3) depending on the number of years you participated in JROTC.
