My favorite thing about Crystal is its diverse student body. Not just because of the diverse backgrounds of its students but also because of students’ differing and overlapping interests. At Crystal, you will never be confined to just one activity. Crystal has a strong commitment to helping students participate in sports. Because I play soccer outside of school, I can get excused from Crystal’s physical education class to stay up with all my schoolwork. However, while Crystal is a school committed to supporting student-athletes, students are certainly not confined to just those two activities. The thing I love about Crystal is that we not only have student-athletes, but we also have musician-athletes, actor-athletes, actor-student body presidents, and the list goes on. Crystal supports its motivated students in their many interests and passions. The school integrates students’ activities into everyday life at Crystal, whether through the P.E. exemption or building time for clubs to meet once a week in our schedule. Crystal also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, such as robotics and student government, as well as opportunities to explore more bizarre interests. For example, through being a member of our school’s Asian Culture Club, I learned and performed a lion dance at Crystal’s annual Lunar New Year Banquet.  No matter what you enjoy, Crystal's “try it” culture will support you in pursuing any of your interests.
