Students in 9th and 10th grade are required to participate in afternoon activities all three terms, and are required to participate in a fitness related activity at least one of the three terms. Students in 11th and 12th grade are required to participate in a fitness related activity at least one of the three terms, but may opt to take one of the three terms off. Please note that if an 11th or 12th grade student wants to do all three terms of Theater: Acting or Theater: Tech, this participation fulfills the fitness related activity requirement. If there is a question about meeting the fitness requirement, please talk to the Registrar’s Office. We can look at each individual student on a case-by-case basis. Participation in acting for all plays will be confirmed after auditions.
Team sports and theater typically run from 3:45 to 5:30 p.m. daily. In the winter term, some teams practice later and hockey practices run in the morning before school. Games may run later in all seasons. Other activities typically end at 5 p.m. Please refer to the schedule grid and individual team pages located on the Teams & Schedules page for the current season’s athletic schedules.
