Clubs & Organizations
Our school has plenty of opportunities for student enrichment. Students may participate in various clubs and organizations to explore and grow their special interests, talents, and passions.
Pickleball Club
Pickleball is a team sport that is described as a cross between tennis, ping pong, and badminton. It requires no special skills or talents: anyone can play and feel included.
