Where do these clubs meet?

Most clubs will meet in the Advisor’s classroom if the Advisor is a teacher at Oak Hill. Locations of all clubs are listed on the monthly Afterschool Enrichment posting found at Afterschool Enrichment and Clubs under the Student Activities on our school website.

Is there a cost?

*Some clubs such as Ski and Snowboard Club incur an additional fee. Information about this club will be shared with families later in the Fall. 

Can I rely on these clubs to meet weekly and throughout the year?

Unfortunately, unlike an afterschool program whose main objective is to provide childcare and charges ongoing tuition, our Enrichment Clubs should not be relied on for that purpose. We certainly do our best to find substitutes when our advisors are sick but there may be times when the club is canceled. Also, not all clubs run throughout the entire school year.

Who do I contact if I have a question about a club?

For specific questions about a club, you can reach any of the club advisors through their NPS email. Club advisors are listed next to each club on the monthly schedule included on this site.  

Is there a late bus?

Yes, the late bus leaves Oak Hill around 4:15
