It’s no secret that high school is stressful.
If you’re gearing up for college, you may feel as though the demands on your time are endless. For starters, you’re probably focused on completing challenging courses and test prep. It can seem like you never have any time outside of school—but it is important to de-stress and focus on something besides academics. Joining high school clubs is a great way to achieve that goal! Even better, having a well-rounded portfolio can improve your competitiveness as a future college applicant.
Your participation in clubs can hone your communication skills, foster creative thinking, and teach you how to work effectively with other people. Your extracurricular involvement is one of the few ways that colleges can gain insights into your personality. Because extracurriculars can take a lot of time—and because your time in high school is precious—you’ll want to be strategic about which clubs to join.
How important are high school clubs? They can prove very consequential. If you take on increasing responsibility and achieve success, your extracurricular involvement will not only help you get into college—it could even help you pay for college! Ultimately, high school clubs are as important as you make them. Here are eleven tips for choosing the right clubs and using your time outside of school wisely.
