Activities and Clubs:
Falcon Creek Middle School offers a variety of opportunities for students to engage in activities and clubs outside of the school day. We encourage all students to pursue their interests and passions through extracurricular activities. The more involved a student is within their school, the better they will achieve and feel connected. Please be sure to talk with your student about what days and times they will be at school for their activity or club. Before-school activities run from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. while after-school activities run from 3:45 p.m. to 4:40 p.m.
Please be sure to check this page over the upcoming weeks for all the activities and club offerings at Falcon Creek this year.
