While students generally come to school to get an education, it is much more rewarding to get involved on campus. There are several ways to get create memories through committing to clubs, activities, sports and more.
Armijo High School offers over 25 clubs and 16 sports, with something to meet almost every interest. For those who do not see an opportunity currently available, creating a new club is not difficult. It starts with finding an adviser and putting together the paperwork with the treasurer.
Clubs and sports are great ways to make college applications look great and also to meet new people, make connections and create lasting memories. On Friday, September 14, many of those clubs will be presenting at the annual Club Fair.
Those who visit the activity might discover amazing clubs like Academic Decathlon, International Club, Armijo Math Club, Art Club, Black Student Union, Journalism, Club 180, NHS, Dance Club, DECA, do something club, Drama Club, Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), Key Club, National Honor Society (NHS), College & Career Club and many more.
