2011 Presentation by Mel Dow

1. Benefits of SHS
Extra/Co-Curricular Activities
Activities support the academic
mission of schools. They are not a
diversion but rather an extension of
a good educational program.

2. Students who participate in
activity programs tend to have:
• Higher GPA
• Better attendance records
• Lower dropout rates
• Fewer discipline problems

3. If Extra/Co-Curricular Activities
do all that….
Our goal at Stoughton High School is to have:
100%
of all our students involved in an
Activity…
