In effort to support the overall growth and development of our students, Helix provides students access to well-rounded extra-curricular and co-curricular programs. Helix's athletic program is one of the largest and most successful programs in San Diego County, offering numerous boys' and girls' sports at the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity levels. We also provide many performing arts programs - dance, drama, instrumental music, vocal music, speech and debate - as well as clubs and organizations that meet students' interests. All of these extra-curricular and co-curricular programs are intended to connect students to school, as students who feel connected to their school tend to grow and develop both personally and academically.
