j School Activities Inspire Students To Achieve Goals Extracurricular as well as curricular activities completed the lives of Shanks' students. While they were required to participate in science. English, math and other curricular courses, students also enjoyed extracurricular activities. Playing on the basketball, football, or volleyball teams, being a cheerleader, playing in the band, and being a member of the school choir were just a few of the activities available. Although curricular courses required much hard work and devotion, students put forth an extra effort to participate in activities which were of particu- lar interest to them.
