Elementary, middle, and high school students working at their group levels in a club

  • Clubs and organizations are a great way to help develop character and the skills that will benefit you in school, your career, and in life. Skills like commitment, leadership, effective communication, and being able to work successfully in a group all come from participating in a club or organization. Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop leadership skills, and boost your college resumé.

    To participate in a school club, a student must have a signed BCPS parent permission slip on file for each organization that they wish to participate in. Please see the individual club sponsor for any questions.
