Student Clubs

Student engagement with the school community is strengthened when a student finds connections beyond the classroom.  West Side offers a variety of before/after school clubs to support students in the performing arts, leadership, and community service.  Participation is voluntary, and students must complete required applications to participate.

The following are clubs/organizations for the 2021-2022 school year.  The full enrichment club catalog and sign-ups will be made available in August.
