STUDENT LIFE

More Than a School Day

Students have opportunities throughout the year to grow in friendship, leadership, creativity and school spirit.

A Year Full of Memories

Throughout the year, students can experience a variety of events to participate in! During the fall, students can enjoy pumpkin fest and fall brawl, as well as class trips for Juniors and Seniors.

In the spring, we have a Jr/Sr banquet and a field day at the end of the semester. Our student body officers plan out multiple spirit days during the year for students to participate in!

Quill & Scroll

Quill & Scroll is a journalistic branch of honor society. Candidates must have a high GPA, good Christian character, and be recommended by the yearbook advisor.

Honor Society

Students are inducted into Honor Society with a GPA 91 or above in their junior and senior year. Christian character is also a consideration when selecting students for this high honor. Every other year the Honor Society takes a trip to California.

Student Council

Student council has a responsibility to come up with new ideas that will help the student body become more unified with an emphasis on spiritual growth. Students, staff, and faculty vote each year in the election held for student body candidates.
