Clubs and Activities
Skyview has a strong tradition of student involvement in extracurricular activities. We currently have over 30 different after school clubs running this year!
Don't see something that interests you? At the beginning of each year students can create “student-ran” clubs through an application process. Application process is linked here and communicated early and often at the beginning of the year.
Annually we have a “club fair” usually during Storm Time, for students to see what is available and to learn more about the clubs we have on campus.
