The Student Experience

More than 12 million high school students in America participate in school activities with some taking advantage of multiple opportunities such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or performing in the school musical. The NFHS has developed the course because while taking part in activities should be fun, we recognize that participating can lead to so much more. There are inherent learning opportunities from taking part in activities. Doing so can lead to greater academic achievement, an enhanced connection to community and a better understanding of those with whom we share these experiences.
