2024-2025 Participation Projected Numbers
Junior High Numbers
In May a Google Form was sent to all 7th and 8th grade students for the 2024-2025 School year to get some rough numbers for participation in athletics and activities for next year. I had 76% of next years 7th and 8th graders respond to the survey. Below are the results of the survey.
Senior High Numbers
In May a Google Form was sent to all 9th through 11th grade students for the 2024-2025 School year to get some rough numbers for participation in athletics and activities for next year. I had 26% of next years high school students respond to the survey. Even after putting reminders in the announcements for two weeks, I was very disappointed with the results of the survey. Below are the results of the survey.
