Clubs and Organizations

Spring Musical Production : In order to pull off a musical, the cast must
devote about 9 weeks of intense effort prior to April vacation, including
frequent after-school rehearsals. In order to be included in the
production, you must be a student in good academic standing. Failing a
class at any point during the year will likely keep you off the cast list.
Of course, tech positions behind the scenes exist for those of you who don't
like the spotlight. Advisor : Ms. Hughes

We organize and run events such as hiking, snowshoeing, canoeing & camping
