Clubs & Activities
Here at Oyster Bay Middle/High School we encourage you to get involved. Joining clubs and activities is a great way to meet new friends and make an impact on your school while also practicing your leadership skills. Involving yourself in activities that you are passionate about can make your years here much more enjoyable.
We are lucky to have such dedicated staff members who advise these clubs with the same goal in mind; to help students get involved while having fun and to help develop and grow a sense of community amongst our student body. By providing our students with a variety of opportunities, we are able to ensure that there is a club for everyone at Oyster Bay Middle/High School. If you have an idea for a club we do not offer, we are always willing to discuss the possibility of founding a new one!
The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with information about each club we offer at Oyster Bay. We hope it will help you discover all of the amazing opportunities you have to get involved and motivate you to join some clubs. If you have any questions, please contact the adviser whose contact information is listed along with the club description.
We look forward to seeing our students at club meetings in the near future!
