Many middle schools have after-school programs for students.
Such programs give students a safe, mentally-active environment from the time school is out until their parents or guardians come home from work. Such programs include an art club, sign language club, jazz band, orchestra, chorus, National Honors Society, computer club, intramural sports, student council, newspaper staff, yearbook staff, and many others. For more information, call the school administration office. Most high schools have activities that are not required by the standard curriculum, but are designed to enrich, entertain, and fulfill special interests of students. Such programs include DECA, Key Club, orchestra, yearbook, ROTC, newspaper, foreign languages, academic competitions, National Honor Society, Mock Trial, SADD, and many others.
