Matanzas High School offers a variety of opportunities for students to participate in after-school clubs and organizations. Involvement in these activities helps students academically by reinforcing lessons learned in the classroom. Students will develop valuable skills and build confidence by engaging with their peers in group settings.
To help ensure the safety and well-being of our students, Flagler Schools is requiring all high school students wanting to participate in athletics, JROTC, Marching Band, or Color Guard to complete a one-time electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to participation.
For information about ECGs, pre-participation physicals, and an ECG clearance form, please click the button below.
