All students are encouraged to participate in student organizations and/or athletics. Research shows that the more a student is connected to activities at school, the more successful a student will be in school. An active student is more likely to enjoy his or her high school years. Students also tend to perform better academically when involved in activities and/or athletics. Participation enhances student self-knowledge and social development while providing students with the opportunity to develop new friendships.

The purpose of the Student Government is to provide students with an opportunity to practice governance. Activities are also planned for the general welfare of the student body. The Student Government may recommend improvements in the school, develop committees, provide fundraising, and direct and run grade level elections.
Elections for the incoming 10th, 11th and 12th grade class officers are held in the spring of each year. Elections for the incoming 9th grade class officers are held in the fall. The election for Student Government officers is also held each spring.
The National Honor Society, a high school organization established and chartered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals since 1921, the Granby Chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1958. It gives recognition to outstanding students on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character as exhibited in the school and community. While the principal reserves the right to approve all activities and decisions of the chapter, the advisor is responsible for the day-to-day supervision. The faculty council, appointed by the principal, establishes, implements, and reviews selection and dismissal procedures.
Eligible students are selected for membership by a majority vote of the faculty council, after consultation with the faculty, on the basis of leadership, service, and character.
Members, during their senior year, may be eligible to be nominated to compete in the National Honor Society Scholarship Awards’ Program. Scholarships may be used at an accredited university, college, or junior college for tuition, fees, room and board, and books and supplies.

The formation and operation of any club or organization must be first discussed and then requested in writing to the building administration. All income and expenses must be processed through the Student Activities Accounts. Advisors should not pay bills directly with cash received from an event. Every club/organization must have a planned system or arrangement providing for officers. All fund raising also requires the use of the Activity Request Form, which may be obtained in the main office. Only students who are in specific clubs and organizations may sell pre-approved items on campus.
