Activities & Clubs

Our school is designed to make available as many different types of clubs and activities as possible to meet the interests of the student body.  All clubs meet in designated classrooms at times convenient to their members.  The plans, activities and functions of each club are decided upon and carried out by the members and their elected officers, with the help of an advisor.  The success of each activity depends upon the loyalty and work of the members and the capabilities of the officers.  A club is only as good as its members make it.  Help make your club and your time fruitful by participating actively.

Goals of Extracurricular Activities

• Students who participate in extracurricular activities do better academically.  They also develop other facets of their personalities in the process. (US Dept. Ed. Safety)

• Self esteem, self confidence, social cooperation and leadership skills can improve through extracurricular activities.  Students are able to blend various aspects of their academic learning into personal action.

• Students who participate in activities generally have better grade point averages and attendance records than their peers who are not involved.

• It is a goal of the Port Angeles High School Activities Program to make activities accessible to ALL students

• Extracurricular activities are a vital part of secondary education.  They provide students the opportunity to organize and plan, to assume leadership roles, to gain recognition and identity, to govern and mature socially.
