Specials Team Picture
    • Welcome to your Specials classes! Whether you're in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade, our Specials program is designed to give you exciting, hands-on learning experiences that go beyond the core subjects and help you discover new interests and talents.

      In 6th and 7th grade, you'll have the chance to explore Music, Art, Health, and Physical Education. These classes will give you space to be creative, active, and reflective—whether you're learning to play an instrument, creating your own artwork, understanding how to take care of your body and mind, or building your strength and teamwork skills in PE.

      In 8th grade, you’ll dive into Physical Education, Spanish, and STEM. You'll continue developing healthy habits and fitness in PE, begin exploring a new language and culture in Spanish, and get hands-on with problem-solving, technology, and design in STEM. These classes are all about exploring your interests, trying new things, and gaining skills that will help you in school and in life.

      We’re excited to see all the ways you’ll grow and express yourself in Specials this year—let’s make it a great one!
