This welcoming, supportive community brings students and teachers together in an academically challenging atmosphere. Students are encouraged to experience life outside the classroom through a variety of extra-curricular activities including intramural sports and community sponsored activities.

Students participate in a twice-annual food drive, called "Time for Sharing," during the winter holidays and in the spring. Food collected during this drive supports Our Daily Bread Food Pantry.

Students also help seniors with leaf raking in the fall in a collaborative effort with the high school and the Council on Aging.
