Reagan High School’s Extra Curricular Clubs
All students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities.
It is a great outlet for stress, bumps up your sense of humor,
decreases loneliness, builds confidence, and develops many
useful skills. Plus, you’ll have fun.
Take a few minutes to review our list of clubs to discover which groups
you’d like to join. If you don’t find an after-school activity that peaks
your interest, just let us know what additional clubs you would like to
see at Ronald W. Reagan High School.
