  • David Fife, Senior: 'Extra curricular activities help to build confidence in people because it gets them involved. You meet a lot of new people and do things you normally wouldn't do. It makes school a lot easier to deal with.'
  • Paige Kelly, Junior: 'Extra curricular activities help to keep kids off the streets and out of trouble. I want to get into acting and it gives me time to do that and to experience it.
