CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Extracurricular activities allow students to engage in and commit to their passions with a level of autonomy seldom afforded them elsewhere. CCDS has over 60 clubs and organizations school-wide, from academic and leadership organizations to athletic and special interest clubs. Students are encouraged to create their own clubs if their interests lie beyond those we currently offer. Clubs in the past have included:
