Clubs at Pike offer an opportunity to take a risk and try something new, to participate in a fun activity with friends, to get to know new friends, and, often, to serve our community in some way.

All Upper School students are eligible to sign up for clubs, although some clubs may be limited to a particular grade. Clubs are offered when there is a faculty member who has the time and ability to advise students on a regular basis. Clubs usually meet in the room of the faculty advisor.
