Fifth through eighth grade students can also choose the extra-curricular Pep Band, which plays during home basketball games.
Drama – Students in 4th - 6th Grades who are not in band have one Drama class a week. Students in 7th & 8th grade can choose Fall Drama Company which will perform for the younger grades and/ or the Spring Musical which was Annie Jr. last year. This year the spring elective is a collaboration between Drama, Music and Art with focus on how they all come together in the Theater.
