SMART Lunch is about 1 hour long. It is divided into a 25 minute “A” lunch, and a 25 minute “B” lunch. During this time students may eat, study, work out, receive tutoring, or visit the media center.

Honors and AP Courses Students can begin taking Honors level
courses in 9th grade if recommended by 8th grade teacher(s)
Honors level exists in all core courses, some electives, and higher level arts courses.
Students who perform well in Honors level courses will be recommended to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
Students who perform well in AP courses and earn high scores on the AP exams may earn college transferring credit.
Getting good grades and challenging yourself should be your number one priority, but it is also important to spend time getting involved in something other than academics.
Extra Curricular Activities@ Sanderson High
Activities Support the Academic Mission of Schools
The following excerpts are taken from “The Case for High School Activities” published by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Activities are not a diversion, but rather an extension of a good educational program.
Students who participate in activity programs tend to have higher grade-point averages, better attendance records, lower dropout rates and fewer discipline problems than students generally.
Through participation in activity programs, students learn teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, the rewards of hard work, self-discipline, build self-confidence, and develop skills to handle competitive situations. These are qualities the public expects schools to produce in students so they become responsible adults and productive citizens.
