Activities & Athletics

Interdisciplinary Team Units use a block of time devoted to activities that provide enrichment and supplement the regular middle school curriculum. Teachers plan activities for our students that help to create a sense of identity and belonging.

Students learn new and interesting things in a relaxed, integrated, and encouraging environment.

An active Student Assistance Team uses a systematic procedure to identify students experiencing school-related difficulties and provide help in the most appropriate manner possible.

 

The East Pennsboro Area Middle School has an active Student Council providing school spirit promotions, fund-raising activities for worthy causes, and supervised social activities. Elections for Student Council officers and representatives are held annually.

Middle school students create their yearbook through the Yearbook Club and its advisors. At a minimal cost, yearbooks are distributed each May to remember the middle school years.

Middle school students (7th & 8th grade) may participate in interscholastic competitions in field hockey, basketball, wrestling, soccer, cross country, and track and field.

Learning support programs are offered in inclusive and part-time special education settings based on each student’s degree of need. Each eligible student has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) which addresses individual strengths and weaknesses. East Pennsboro Area Middle School offers instruction in the regular classroom with special education assistance to the greatest degree possible.
