8th Period Activities
Eighth Period is an integral part of the school day. It is an opportunity for students to get academic support, explore a new interest, pursue a passion, or socialize with friends in a supervised activity. Students may decide to participate in the same clubs or activities on a regular basis, or participate in a wide variety.
Many of the same activities and clubs that a traditional school offers are found here, as well as some that can only be offered because of the unique technical laboratories and nature of the school.
Currently, there are more than 180 clubs and activities (see below).
