and Walbridge park. The versatile athletic field is used as a football, soccer, baseball, and softball field. Although the campus lacks a track this does not hinder the track and field program in any way. As of the 2010 season, the boy's team had won 7 straight conference championships and the girl's team had won 4 of the last 5 under the tutelage of coach Paul Barney. The building has five stories; however, only three stories are used for educational purposes. A new gymnasium was recently remodeled and is used for holding basketball games and pep rallies as well as special gatherings and plays. The chapel is located above the art wing; this room was once used for the weekly chapel meetings for the student body, but has since been discontinued for this purpose. Instead, the chapel is used as a rehearsal room for the music program, which includes an orchestra, band, and chamber choir.

Clubs

Currently, there are only 6 clubs: the drama club, paintball, cooking, scrapbook, bowling, Ping PONG, and the French club. The drama club performs skits during the weekly chapel and also produces a play in the spring. French club travels to France in the summer. The other 4 meet after school somedays and do whatever their name decides them to do. The Ping Pong club has been very successful.
