Student Activities

At Jean Ribault Middle School, learning happens both inside and outside of the classroom. Our student activities give Colts opportunities to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, build friendships, serve their school community, and show their Colt Pride.

Whether students enjoy academics, arts, service, leadership, athletics, or schoolwide events, there is a place for every student to get involved.
