Extracurricular Activities
Although it is not allowed for there to be an activity that only Academy students can participate in, Academy Students are responsible for founding many of Morris Hills High School's activities, such as the Astronomy Club which was formed in 2006 by the members of the class of 2009. There is also an Academy Physics club which consists of the five Freshman academy students with the highest first marking period average. Since some clubs meetings from 7:30 to 8:00, there tend to problems in attending the meetings due to the extended school day for Academy students (which begins at 7:18 versus the 8:00 time for Morris Hills Students).
Students, if they wish, can play sports with other students in Morris Hills High School.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
