- A student cannot be absent from school and attend practice or participate in athletic game or program except for an excused absence approved by the administration in advance.
- A student who has "2 or more unexcused tardies" on the day of a scheduled athletic game or program is ineligible for participation in that event.

At Faith Middle School, we have created a co-curricular program that is student-centered and consequently one that kids want to be a part of. Students who participate in an after-school activities program must be picked up or depart the campus after the activity ends. Students must also be registered with Child, Youth, and School Services (CYS). Parents can register their children at Building 104 on Marchant Avenue.
Just a reminder; all after-school activity pickups will be in the bus loop near the gym. Due to safety reasons, no pick-ups will be in front of the school.
After school clubs and activities normally meet only on days that the school follows a full day schedule, not on early release days. Also, due to unforeseen training, meetings, or teacher absences, an activity may be canceled without advanced notice. If the activity is canceled at the last minute, students will be notified through the school intercom system at the end of the instructional day.
National Junior Honor Society
The purpose of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is to enhance and further develop a student's natural leadership skills by involving them in service projects to the school and community. The students of NJHS should be exemplary citizens and ambassadors of Faith Middle School. Students are selected based on meeting 5 criteria: scholarship, citizenship, character, leadership, and service.
Once recommended by an academic teacher, students are evaluated by a faculty committee to determine if the student shows consistent positive leadership skills, good character, citizenship, and a willingness to serve others without expectation of reward.
