One thing that sets high school apart from elementary and middle school is the variety of clubs students can participate in after school.
“After school clubs are the best part of high school” says Tene Kelly, an assistant principal. “It gives the opportunity to explore interests and make friends with people that share those interests… Everyone should join an after-school club.”
Below is a roundup of this year’s offerings:
