Mitty offers many extracurricular activities for its students. There are over 40 active clubs on campus throughout the year. These clubs meet before, after, or during school. Each year, as we return to school in the Fall, students may organize additional clubs by recruiting a moderator, completing a "new club application", enlisting a roster of members, and receiving approval from the Director of Student Activities.
These clubs are meant to serve as a way for students with common interests to gather, share experiences, and build community. Our club structure does not require or provide a means for students to miss academic school time for events.
