18. Premier School District
We offer “Quality Teaching & Learning for All”
1.) Activities =
Achievement
Decades of research prove that students who participate in high school activities tend to have:
higher grade-point averages
better attendance records
lower dropout rates
fewer discipline problems than non-participating students.
National studies repeatedly report that high school activities:
build character
increase self-confidence
relieve tension
support classroom learning by generating school pride, a sense of community, and by nurturing a feeling of belonging that makes students want to achieve.
