Outside of academics, students find enrichment in electives such as band, digital art, television production, engineering and computer coding. They can also join clubs for Dungeons & Dragons and Minecraft. With volleyball, basketball and track teams rounding out the offered activities, Bay Point has options to suit every student’s preference.
