Abstract

The present study investigates the extent to which high school students' participation in extracurricular activities affects their postsecondary aspirations and academic achievement. The Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, the Brown-Holtzman Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, and the Nonclass Experiences Questionnaire were administered to 119 high school students from a large urban school district. Two-stage least squares regression analyses indicate that nonclass activities have positive effects on students' educational aspirations but negative effects on students' academic achievement.
