Clubs & Organizations

 
 
 
Clubs and activities allow our students to discover their unique path and pursue passions beyond the classroom, while developing key leadership skills. We are continually adding to our clubs to meet the needs & wants of each student in our halls. We meet regularly and explore every interest, from quiz bowl & chess, all the way to community service. Some activities are invitational, like National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta in individual disciplines. Members of Executive Student Council and Student Council are elected by their peers.
