When most people think of band, football, photography, and chess club they do not believe that these programs will teach more than how to throw a ball or how to play B flat on an instrument, but that is untrue.

The school has lacked several opportunities such sports, scholarship opportunities, etc. However, a topic that has been the spotlight of discussion amongst students over the course of eleven years has been the lack of extracurricular activities.

After-school programs have improved scores for individuals and it has reflected on the school, making the entire school’s average look better as a whole. According to Barnett, a school that he personally researched himself, went from an F average for two years to a B average in one year. This shows that they did not have a good grade reflection before they made the decision of making the addition of after-school activities. (Barnett 8).

The findings from this study on extra-curricular activities supporting academic success in denominational schools stand in contention with the study done by Worrell and Bucknavage (2004). Both findings revealed that the tremendous majority of students in denominational schools participate in extra-curricular activities. This study found extra-curricular activities as a factor leading to greater academic achievement in students whereas, Worrell and Bucknavage (2004) did not discover such links. This is so because in this study only the opinion from the students on the notion of participation in extra-curricular activities contributing to academic success was asked, Worrell and Bucknavage (2004) however was relating the perceived academic achievement of the students to 19 specific extra-curricular activities only leading to disparities in results.
