In a seven period day schedule, the average teacher teachers five class periods, has a planning period and a duty period. A duty period may include anything from hall duty, to covering a study hall, to assisting with lunch supervision and other duties that may be assigned by the principal. Co-curricular clubs exist at each of our high schools. Extra-curricular activities include sports programs, as well as other Virginia High School League activities such as debate, creative writing, forensics, theater festival, journalism competition, yearbook competition, and academic challenge. Non-VHSL activities offered at each school include art contest, choral festivals, band competitions, essay contest, and science fairs and Battle of the Brains.
Field trips are also a part of the school program.
Teachers submit request for field trips to the principal for review and approval. The request is then sent to the Secondary Director for review and approval. All trips are taken for either educational enrichment, or for the purpose of attending competitions and contest.
