Abstract - Extracurricular activities are found in all levels of our schools in many different forms. They can be sports, clubs, debate, drama, school publications, student council, and other social events. A student‟s future can be determined in the things that they do in the hours after school and before their parents get home. This paper describes the role of extracurricular activities and the positive effects that they can have on students of all kinds ranging from the above average student to the student that is on the brink of dropping out of school.

Introduction

Extracurricular activities are an integral part of high school for many students. Yet given funding challenges and pressures to increase test scores in today‟s educational climate, many schools are considering cutting the number of activities they offer or reducing students‟ opportunities to participate by cutting transportation or other types of financial support (Gutierrez, 2004; Starr, 2000). Those who support activities argue they provide many benefits for students, including an opportunity to develop prosocial peer groups and a sense of belonging, a „„hook” into school that may help to keep students enrolled, and increased academic achievement (Cooper et al., 1999; Davalos et al., 1999; Johnson et al., 1998; Mahoney and Cairns, 1997; Mahoney, 2000; Marsh 1992; Quiroz et al., 1996). Others point to the political socialization function that extracurricular activities serve, paving the way for adolescent participants to become politically active adults (Burns et al., 2001; Eccles and Barber, 1999; McFarland and Thomas, 2006; McNeal, 1995; Putnam, 2000; Verba et al., 1995). Thus, extracurricular activities are seen both to supplement existing academic curricula and to allow students the opportunity to build non-academic, civic, and political skills such as teamwork.
