At New Dorp High School we believe that all youngsters should be involved in after-school activities. These activities may include athletic teams, clubs, publications, performing arts, government and leadership and community service. Students, who become involved in extra-curricular programs, will have a more rewarding and fun-filled high school career.

 

Extra-curricular programs develop in our young people a sense of belonging. Through the activities students meet others who have the same special interests. Extra-curricular activities also teach young people how to adequately manage their time, prioritize goals, overcome obstacles, work with others and deal with failure and success. Youngsters learn self-discipline, responsibility and develop character.

Extra-curricular activities are an important part of high school but not as important as academic progress and success. Therefore, all participants in extra-curricular activities must meet eligibility requirements. Students must pass a minimum of four (4) academic subjects and physical education and maintain 80% or better attendance record to be eligible. In addition students must have acquired a minimum of eight (8) academic and (2) two PE credits in the previous two terms in order to be eligible to participate in any activity.
