Getting involved in extracurricular activities is a good way for students to meet new people, develop new skills, make a contribution and have some fun.

You can display your talents, develop your leadership and organizational abilities, learn to make decisions and manage your time, and enhance your people skills -- all traits that will help you in high school and beyond.

Look below for activities you can join, or start your own club -- contact the school office for details on how to proceed.

WIS SCIENCE CLUB

Club Advisor:  Mrs. Steward 

 

WIS Science Club was started in 2008 by students with a shared interest in science.  Students decide on activities and fundraisers.

 

Typically, we meet each Friday afternoon at 2:50 in Room 404, where we have a short meeting followed by an activity.  We also have a fundraiser about once a month.  The money goes towards supplies and/or fieldtrips. A calendar of activities is created by the students and will be available online by the end of September.
