Get Involved

One of the goals many students have each year is to get involved in the school or community.  I love that goal because being involved in sports, clubs, volunteer outreach, or other areas of interest helps connect you as students to our school and community.  

You have special gifts that only you can share and you can make a positive difference!  WKHS is very fortunate to have a wide range of opportunities available within the school setting for you to get involved.  There are 29 interscholastic sports, over 40 clubs, the school newspaper, video news team, yearbook and a wide variety of performance groups (choirs, bands, orchestra, and plays).  Here is the list of current clubs and the staff members helping to serve as faculty representatives so that you could reach out to join them if you are interested.  And, I know that there are already more clubs that are included on this list because I heard on announcements that Yoga Club is starting and I know Ski & Board Club is returning again this year, but this list will definitely give you a good idea of most of the opportunities available.

For underclassmen, being a part of a sport or club makes your transition to high school easier because you get to know older students and you find a place where you can belong.  For upperclassmen, being involved gives you the opportunity to demonstrate leadership and to grow in your areas of interest.  The reality is there is something for everyone... and if you have a new idea for a group that doesn't already exist then I encourage you to find a staff member to serve as a faculty representative and get a club started!  I have one student who has already started that process this year.  

It doesn't matter if you are participating in the same activity you have done since you entered elementary school or trying something new, I can't wait to see the impact you will have at Kilbourne this year!
