Clubs
Clubs for your one-of-a-kind interests.
At the end of the school day, many students don’t want to leave because they enjoy being here. During this time, we encourage students to get extra help with homework, take up a new sport, get involved with one of our multiple clubs, create a piece of art, exercise leadership on student council, or participate in opportunities to share your faith and serve others.

Art Club
Art Club allows students who may not have enough time in the day to express themselves visually. They have the opportunity to start a new project, advance creative ideas, explore a new medium, collaborate with other artistic students, develop their own artistic techniques and continue to build their high school art portfolio.
