“At Kelso High School, we recognize that student activities are an integral part of a comprehensive high school, and that participation helps students develop skills and interests which allow them to fit into mainstream life as productive, active citizens. While Kelso High School's curriculum offerings provide students with academic challenges, participating in activities enables students to experience the satisfaction of interacting with their peers socially.”
