Schools
All three schools maintain a full-time student assistance program and extra instructional support for all students. An alternative education program is offered on-site after-school. The Zone after-school program provides after-school activities for students at the elementary and middle level. Art and music departments offer students instruction in instrumental music, voice, music theory, drawing & painting, ceramics, design, and glasswork. Students may participate in marching band, orchestral band, jazz band, chorus, and Innovations, our premier singing ensemble. The high school also has journalism classes and produces a high school newspaper, the Blue & White several times during the school year. In addition, students may participate in audio-visual activities at our television studios at both buildings where several students have produced quality news and human interest reports. The district offers a gifted acceleration program.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (b. 1915)
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
