Six clubs actively participated in extracurricular events ranging from foreign languages to American Indian culture. Active clubs included: Future Farmers of America, Nationa Honor Society, American Field Service, Future Business Leaders of America, Camera Club, Science Club, Athletic Club, and Native American Club. Many club members found the activities to their liking as they won state wide competition.
