The Neosho School District believes that interscholastic activities shall supplement the secondary curricular program, and as such become a vital part of a student’s total educational experience. These experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to make maximum use of his/her education. Student participation in any part of our activities is a privilege which carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the student body, to the community and to the student himself/herself. This participation privilege represents a year-round commitment and will help to develop the student physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
