Extracurriculars also help students explore future carrer options. First of all students can figure out what they are good at and explore future jobs that match those skills.

Also speakers come in every two months and speak about their jobs and how students could pursue their dream jobs. Furthermore students have a chance to get a scholarship to college for doing a sport. Then they could continue that sport in college. Also being good at a sport will make it easier for them to get into their dream college.
