Student activities, teams and clubs provide students with opportunities to be active citizens in our community and beyond. Comprised of clubs, councils, and sports teams, our offerings are as diverse as our student body. We firmly believe that the process of educating students must extend outside the classroom walls. Our faculty advisors, coaches, and mentors ensure that our students are exposed to well-rounded experiences so that they gain an understanding of different viewpoints, cultures, and opportunities in academic settings and beyond.
