| Middle School :: Student Activities |
Athletics
Athletic opportunities abound in middle school. All students are
encouraged to try new sports and gain fundamental skills in the sports they
choose. The Eagles have fielded middle school teams in football, soccer,
volleyball, cross country, basketball, baseball, track, and wrestling. More
than 80% of middle school students participate in at least one sport during the
year, and many students participate in several.
Fine Arts
Opportunity is also extended in the fine arts
arena. All middle school students complete fine arts course work at each grade
level. Sixth graders take a music class and band. Seventh and eighth graders
may also participate in band and will be involved in the bi-annual
Junior Broadway musical through art, being part of set and stage crew or as
part of the musical cast. All middle school students participate in
the local ACSI Speech Meet.

The Middle School Chess Club is one of the best in the
State of Texas and has won the Region 2 Tournament each of the past 4 years.
The Chess Club meets weekly and participates in a variety of tournaments over
the course of the school year.
