In addition to regular classroom work, student activities play an important role in student education. A wide range of after-school (extra-curricular) activities is offered for students who are interested in participating.

After school activities are geared to meet student interests. In addition to the activities listed below, additional one may be established with (a) approval of the Principal and Board of Education, (b) securing of a teacher sponsor, (c) indication of sufficient student interest. Requests for new activities should be brought to the attention of the Student Council.

Each school offers extracurricular activities including the following:
