Co-Curriculars
Participation in school activities can enhance a students school experience.
Benefits of Co-Curricular Involvement:
Co-Curricular activities provide opportunities for character development and valuable life lessons - teamwork, sportsmanship, self-discipline and hard work. These are qualities students need if they are to become responsible adults, productive citizens and skilled professionals.
Activities foster success in later life. Participation in activities is often a predictor of later success - in college, a career and in becoming a healthy, contributing member of society.
Research shows that students involved in co-curricular activities are more likely to have:
Higher GPAs
Higher college admission test scores

Lower dropout rates
Fewer discipline referrals
