CAMPUS LIFE

Carnegie believes that preparing for college requires more than intensive academics. For this reason, campus life is important at Carnegie as we develop the whole student. We consider ourselves a community and we invite each student into our network of teachers, staff, and students with

welcoming arms.

At Carnegie Schools, we encourage students to participate in after school activities including sports, community service, student government, and student led clubs. As a Christ-centered college preparatory program, students should aim to be well rounded, participating in a variety of on and off campus activities.
