Activities
The student activities program is a progressive experience that will prepare students for their futures. School is more meaningful and enjoyable when a student becomes involved in the activities program. Whether the activity is being part of a club or an organization, a special interest group, or student government, it is an opportunity to make friends, to learn some important social skills, and to take part in fun activities. Most of the activities require only an interest, some a try-out, others a special skill, but there is something for everyone. And, new clubs and organizations are always welcome.
- The elementary level provides opportunities for students as safety patrols as well as in publications, student government, and performing groups.
- At the middle school level, FCPS provides for involvement in performing groups, student government, newspaper, yearbook, drama, general interest clubs, and the literary magazine.
At the high school level, FCPS offers a wealth of opportunities for student growth and enrichment through athletics, student government, performing groups, publications, honor societies, and special interest clubs.
Complete details can be found in the Student Activities Office of each of the 25 high schools or secondary schools or with the principal at the middle and elementary school levels.
A complete list of FCPS approved student activities for middle school and high school is available from the Office of Student Activities and Athletic Programs and through the individual schools.
