Activities

Welcome To Stagg Activities!

As your student continues his/her education at Stagg, we hope that he/she will take the time to review the co-curricular offerings and consider getting involved in one of the many activities we have to offer. The activities listed here provide students with the opportunity to learn the values of teamwork, responsibility and leadership, diversity, perseverance and to develop a sense of culture and community within our school. 

Studies have shown that when students are active participants in their school activities they achieve more success in the areas of attendance, academic achievement, and motivation for continued learning in the post-secondary world. Their involvement reinforces lessons learned within the classroom setting, enables students to apply the skills they have learned and contributes to their overall, well-rounded education.

Stagg students have the opportunity to participate in a multitude of activities that encourage their passions, motivate their interests, and develop their talents. We hope that you will explore all your options and involve yourself in something Stagg has to offer!

The Stagg Winter Guard is an indoor competitive performance team unlike any other. If you enjoy music and dance, this activity involves members spinning equipment (flags and more), dancing, and acting to show music of a chosen theme. All members are trained in how to dance and spin equipment, so no experience is necessary! The Winter Guard season starts in late October and runs through early April. The Winter Guard practices 2-3 days a week and competes across the Midwest on weekends.

Check out our 2022 Production to see what our team does!
