Extracurricular Activities
Beyond the Classroom
At our school, being a Grizzly means exploring passions that reach far beyond the classroom walls through a diverse array of extracurricular communities. Whether your student is looking to find their rhythm in Band, Choir, or Orchestra—where they develop technical mastery and the discipline of collaborative performance—or wants to make a tangible impact on the environment with our Green Team’s sustainability initiatives, there is a place for everyone to belong. For those who thrive on movement, we foster grit and teamwork through competitive Basketball and Track, while providing a relaxed, social outlet for physical wellness in our Walking Club. By offering these varied avenues for engagement, we ensure that every Grizzly has the dedicated space to lead, create, and grow alongside their peers, turning personal interests into lifelong skills.
