Clubs and Organizations (updated 9/23/08)

Student activities are part of the total school program and provide opportunities for students to augment learning experiences from within and without the classroom. These activities are under the direct supervision of the school staff and contribute to the educational objectives of the school. Student participation in these activities, however, is a privilege, determined and managed by the school.

For questions about individual clubs, please contact the faculty sponsor. For general club questions, please contact Marissa Brooks. All clubs meet after school unless otherwise noted.
