Future 7th grader Information

Most of the electives listed below require either a tryout, audition, or application. Please read through and note dates for each elective. If you have questions, please contact the sponsor/teacher. We do offer many electives that do not require an application, students just need to select those classes for next year.

Students are required to have a semester of:

• fine arts (band, choir, art, adv. art, drama, or stagecraft)
• Keycode - most students took this in 6th grade
• Physical Education (any athletics or PE)
