A strong parent organization is evident by the numerous fundraisers and projects taken on the parents in an effort to support the funding of a physical education teacher. Students are offered the opportunity to participate in band, basketball, swimming, wrestling and cheerleading. Parent nights are set-up several times during the school year. Volunteers are utilized to enhance the learning process.
