The purpose of this study was to examine the beliefs of high school principals in Texas on the impact extracurricular participation has on student academic performance. Specifically, feedback from high school principals was sought concerning 1) the significance extracurricular participation has on student academic performance; 2) the leadership efforts on their campus to promote extracurricular participation as a means to support student academic performance; 3) the quantity of extracurricular activities offered on their campus to meet the needs of all students that seek to participate; and 4)the attributes gleaned from participating in extracurricular activities that have the most positive impact on students. Research indicates that extracurricular activities, specifically involvement in sports, has been cited as an indication of higher grades, higher educational aspirations, more internal locus of control and a higher self-concept (Feigin, 1994). Research also claims school administrators have the ability to create and model school norms that cultivate and integrate extracurricular involvement while emphasizing the importance of individual academic achievement (George, 2012). Participants in this study included 173 Texas high school principals representing schools of varying student enrollments. A questionnaire with two questions was issued to the subjects seeking their beliefs on the impact extracurricular participation has on students. Ultimately, three findings ascended as productive results from this research. First, the responses revealed that the principals contributing to this study firmly agreed that extracurricular participation has a positive impact on students. Second, the results from this study showed that the school leaders that participated believe that students receive the greatest impact through extracurricular participation by the relationships those students build and from learning the importance of intangibles such as teamwork and commitment. Lastly, the feedback determined that the perceptions of the principals that participated in the study were generally consistent in their views on the impact extracurricular participation has on students, regardless of the enrollment size of the campus they lead. These three findings could have significance by expanding the body of knowledge related to the potential solutions extracurricular participation presents high school principals when they explore strategies to create support systems for students on their campus.

In the age of No Child Left Behind and increased accountability for education, educational leaders continue to seek an organizational reform model that will positively impact student achievement. Educational literature promotes the Professional Learning Community (PLC) model as a viable option to increase student achievement. This study sought to determine if a relationship exists between the perceived implementation of the PLC model and student academic achievement defined as Exit Level Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills in math, English language arts, science and social studies. The empirical research of Hord (2004) was combined with the work of practitioners DuFour and Eaker (1998) to develop the Organizational Structure Self Assessment (OSSA). This research began with a pilot study to test the OSSA. Once the OSSA was finalized, a stratified random sample of Texas high schools was selected and the OSSA was distributed to 380 high school principals representing all regions in the state of Texas. A total of 114 schools responded to the study. A hierarchical regression was used to determine if a relationship exists between PLC implementation and student achievement. Student economic status, language proficiency and instructional expenditures were controlled in order to partial out extraneous effects of these variables. The research study detected no relationship between having a common belief system (mission, vision, values, and goals) and academic achievement in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. A relationship was not revealed between a focus on continuous improvement and student academic achievement. A relationship was not found between collaboration and high school academic achievement. Finally, a relationship was not confirmed between sustainability and student academic achievement. The interaction of the four domains was not shown to be related to academic achievement in the four core content areas. Although no relationships were revealed between PLC domains and student achievement, virtually all participating schools reported some degree of compliance with the principles of the Professional Learning Community. Therefore the resulting restricted range of implementation could not answer the research questions with certainty. The question of whether PLC principles enhanced school performance is still open for further investigation.
