Extra-Curricular Student Activities

School Socials

There are two school socials every school year. These events features a variety of activities designed for students to practice social skills and have fun while increasing their positive bonding to school. Activities may include such things as craft-making, games, and of course dancing while a live DJ spins tunes. We encourage all students to participate.

The Eugene School District believes that the purpose of interscholastic athletics is to have fun, maintain and improve high standards of conduct, competition and friendly relations with visiting schools.

All spectators, no matter what their personal feelings of loyalty may be to one or the other teams in these contests should reflect an attitude of sportsmanship. All persons attending athletic contests have a right to be free from insult, intimidation and harassment.

Student Council

Student Council assists in the planning of social, community and school activities as well as proving input into decisions that affect the school and the students.
Student Council meets approximately twice a month. Each block class chooses a student representative and then other students are selected into at-large positions. Student Council meets to consider school issues brought forward by the students or the staff for consideration. This year the Student Council organized our most successfully food drive in many years. They have also brought forward proposals for an altered school schedule. Students must maintain good behavior and positive academic progress to remain in Student Council.
