Middle School Sports and Electives

Middle School students choose either to participate on an athletic team or sign up for four electives each season (fall, winter, and spring). MS athletics and electives take place during the school day from 2:55-3:45 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays; offerings change each trimester, giving students the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. (MS Athletics may extend beyond the school day for games and meets; see the Athletics section of the website for more details.)

Middle School electives meet four times per week. Elective offerings may be physically active (e.g. Outdoor Games or Flag Football), academically focused (e.g. Creative Writing), or artistically focused (e.g. Middle School Play or Arts and Crafts).

Sample elective offerings are listed below:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Outdoor Games
  • Indoor Games
  • Flag Football
  • Hiking
  • Creative Writing
  • Debate
  • Middle School Band
  • Chess
  • National Science Bowl
  • Tutorial (a teacher-supervised class where students may work on homework, seek out assistance from a subject area teacher, or work collaboratively with classmates on projects)
