Our junior high school afterschool program is offered Monday-Thursday from 3:15-4:45 p.m. Our youth enjoy a space to rest and recharge afterschool while participating in creative projects, homework support, fun social events, field trips, and community service opportunities. 

For the 2026-2027 school year our afterschool program schedule will be:

Monday: Fashion Design and Entrepreneurship with My1of1: students will be working with fashion designers from the My1of1 program to design their own clothing line and custom shoes that will be printed. 

Tuesday: Film Academy: students will participate in making their own short films including learning script writing, video production and editing 

Wednesday: Afterschool Wellness and Homework Lounge: students will receive academic support and mentorship while enjoying time to unwind and relax after school including fun social events

Thursday: Through our Lens Photography Program: students will learn techniques of digital photography as well as participate in fun photography outings in our community.
