For nearly two decades, the Before and After School Program at Castle Park Middle School has had one goal in mind: to engage students with quality programs that are fun, free, and positive. Building up our young adults for the future and investing in them at this point in their lives can be crucial to help define who they can be. Even though our name has changed from CLUB TC, KRASE, and now SHIELD, our goal and commitment haven't. Most of our SHIELD coaches are CPM Alumni who are returning back to CPM, having went through the program themselves, and are now giving back to a new generation of students. This is a true testament to the impact the program has had on them, our community, and our future. We continue to strive for what's best in our students because, just like you, we believe in their full potential.
We are SHIELD. |
From The Beginning |
Where We Are Now |
After school programs were initially implemented to positively engage students from the critical hours between after school and 6pm. The goal was to offer supports and activities which would increase academic performance and give students the opportunity to learn a new skill, socialize in a positive and supervised environment, and strengthen students' physical attributes. After school programs are continuing to provide these essential services to students across the nation. SHIELD prides itself on not only positively impacting our students and our community, but continuing to be innovative in program and activity offerings.

In 2020, the SHIELD Before and After School Program at Castle Park Middle School is one of the most competitive programs for students. In addition to the many athletic sports we offer, we also have an awesome visual and performing arts program with Dance, and the districts only Rock Band music program! We also offer a STEM Robotics team and daily academic support for our students. We also partner with various outside consultants and agencies to provide fun and engaging activities and experiences for our SHIELD students. With student voice helping to direct our offerings, we are constantly evolving to ensure that SHIELD is the ONLY place that students want to be before and after school.

OUR SHIELD COACHES ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR PROGRAM! Their dedication to their programs and ability to offer exciting and engaging content is what drives students to continue coming back. Without them, our program would not be as successful as it has been.
