After school, we have Homework Clinic two days per week. Flag football and basketball are available to boys and girls. Carquinez has an active student council that sponsors many events. School dances are held four times per year.

Our focus at CMS is on academic achievement and positive behavior. Our PTSA and Site Council work to assist teachers and other staff members in providing a successful middle school environment.
