Clubs and Activities

Research supports the positive academic and social outcomes when a student is engaged in sports, volunteering, clubs, organizations, and work-related activities throughout primary, middle, and in particular during a student’s high school years.

A student who is consistently involved develops better organizational and time-management skills, which correlate to better academic performance. Also impacting academic performance is a student’s engagement with their school or organization. At Shaker High School, we have a variety of club offerings and encourage all students to get involved in a club that may interest them.

For a complete list of club offerings, please see below.
