Involvement in middle and high school athletics is an important aspect of a student's overall academic success and his/her wellness. Numerous studies show a positive correlation in students' academic success between students who participate in athletics and other extra-curricular activities.
Participation in extra-curricular activities also strengthens students' social growth and connection with the school, school staff and community.
