At Fort Couch the Athletic Program's major emphasis is to provide broad-based intramural and extramural activities that are an outgrowth of the physical education program. Intramural activities provide exploratory experiences for all students including flag football, soccer, cross country, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, track and softball. Any student can participate in the after-school extramural activities. The purpose of the program is to provide wholesome physical activity with emphasis on the physical and emotional welfare of the participants. All practices, scrimmages and contests are considered teaching situations. Students have an opportunity to develop skills, sportsmanship, and self-discipline.

There is a "no-cut" policy. All students who wish to participate will be assigned to a team. While an attempt is made to give all team members playing time, it is not always possible to give all players equal playing time. The coaches are responsible for using their own discretion. Students who wish to participate in these activities must be in good academic standing and must adhere to team rules. Medical examinations are required for participation. Participation in all sports requires a participation fee. 

Orchestra, Band and Chorus 

Fort Couch Middle School offers Orchestra, Band, and Chorus. Although many of our students began studying their instruments in 3rd and 4th Grade, no previous experience is necessary. Small group lessons are provided for students playing a string or band instrument throughout the school year. In addition, ensembles meet during Period 8 on designated days. Fort Couch also offers an extensive Choral Program that provides for students of all abilities and interest levels. Students have the opportunity to study and perform a variety of choral music and participate in smaller vocal groups.

Student Council

All students have an opportunity to participate in Fort Couch Middle School’s Student Council. At the beginning of the year students submit an application for approval to be a member of the Student Council. Under the leadership of Student Council sponsors, representatives participate in school and community service projects throughout the year. Student Council members must be responsible and enthusiastic students who serve as role models for their peers.
