Co-Curricular Programs
Clovis Unified offers an extensive co-curricular program for students in elementary, intermediate and high school. The term "co-curricular," is used to describe the CUSD program due to the District's belief that school-related activities are not beyond the curriculum, but actually work in conjunction with the curriculum to build well-rounded individuals. It is further believed that student involvement in school-related activities create learning opportunities that foster skill development, team-building, commitment, responsibility, follow-through and character development.
The strength of the district's nationally recognized co-curricular program lies in the fact that all students are encouraged to become actively involved in at least one school-related activity each school year. The elementary schools offer 13 sports and 56 teams, intermediate schools offer 19 sports and 34 teams, and high schools offer 22 sports and 56 teams. While many opportunities are provided to CUSD students through an extensive athletic program, the District also offers a wide range of school-related activities to encourage student participation, such as:
Visual and Performing Arts: drama, oral interpretation, art, speech, debate, forensics, choral, music, band, orchestra, dance and poster contests.
Athletics: baseball, football, track, softball, swimming, diving, water polo, soccer, volleyball, basketball, cross country, tennis, wrestling, gymnastics and golf.
Curricular: Odyssey of the Mind, History Day, Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Mock Trial, Mathematics, Engineering and Science Association (MESA), Future Farmers of America (FFA), yearbook, journalism, Academic Decathlon and essay contests.
