PPSC Clubs & Organizations

Clubs and Organizations can provide students with opportunities to engage, learn, and lead in topics they’re interested or passionate about while developing lifelong organizational and leadership skills. If there’s something that you’re passionate, driven, and interested in that currently isn’t offered as an organization, you may be just the right person to start your own and contribute to continued interest in that topic!
