STATISTICS ON THE BENEFITS OF GETTING INVOLVED IN HIGH SCHOOL THESE ARE PERCENTAGES *U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, National Education Longitudinal Study, Second Follow-up, 1992.
QUOTES FROM TEACHERS ¡°If students truly want to have a full experience, stretch themselves as people, challenge themselves in ways they never have before, or simply make life-long friends, then they need to be involved in our school. Everyone can go to class everyday, go home after school, and never change anything. But they would be robbing themselves of a truly great experience. Our school offers a wide variety of activities in which students can explore. As a great texter once texted, "YOLO."¡± -----Daniel Ching
HERE¡¯S ANOTHER... ¡°ACTIVITIES SUPPORT THE ACADEMIC MISSION OF SCHOOLS. They are not a diversion, but rather an extension of a good educational program. Students who participate in activity programs tend to have higher grade-point averages, better attendance records, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems than students generally. ACTIVITIES ARE INHERENTLY EDUCATIONAL. Activity programs provide valuable lessons for many practical situations. Through participation in activity programs, students learn teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, the rewards of hard work, self-discipline, build self-con?dence, and develop skills to handle competitive situations. These are qualities the public expects schools to produce in students so they become responsible adults and productive citizens. ACTIVITIES FOSTER SUCCESS IN LATER LIFE. Participation in high school activities is often a predictor of later success - in college, a career, and becoming a contributing member of society.¡± ----- Chelsea Geraci-Milliorn
AND ANOTHER... ¡°Forget ¡°school¡±.? School is a blink. And it's just some buildings. Think YOU. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA DO IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS? That is the question.? Get involved with YOU. Build YOUR skills. MAKE cool stuff. DO cool stuff. End up with a COOL LIFE.? It's a scary world out there. Strap on. Be ready. Mad skills start NOW!¡± -----Jon Corippo
Still not convinced? What about... MILITARY CLUB Anyone can join. For serious folks and fans of the military. Three big ?eld trips; two overnight.? Guest speakers. Gaming and probably paintball.? See Mr. Corippo
OR, WHAT ABOUT... Being In A Play MRS. SMITH SAYS: ¡°So far, at least one after school play, potentially two, fall and spring:) Get to act, hang out with other actors, its just plain fun:)¡±

Mr. Samuelson says... ¡°The Marching Band is looking for new members. ? If anyone has played an instrument in the past and would like to rejoin band, we would be interested in talking to them. ?The Band plans on playing at Santa Cruz and Pismo this fall and hopes to perform at one of California's major theme parks in the spring. ?We also need young ladies who are interested in being part of the colorguard team which would be ?ag twirling and holding letters or a banner for the band.¡±
