Activities & Clubs

Participation in extracurricular activities enables a student to develop leadership qualities, make new friends, learn leisure time activities, pursue special interests, and just have fun! Below is a representative list, along with the sponsor(s) and meetings dates/times when in school, of the various activities presented to the student body on an annual basis.

Every student is encouraged to select one or more of the activities in which to actively participate. However, since the primary purpose of high school is to promote scholastic achievement, a student is advised to select activities wisely and to budget his/her time effectively. There are activities that provide for an extension of interest aroused in the classroom, an opportunity to develop special interests and abilities, and social and service activities in the school and community.

Theatre? Math Team? Bass Fishing? We have clubs and organizations who share these interests and many, many more.

Yearbook

Advisor
Bill Weber (Email)

The Yearbook is what Woodstock North High School students use to remember their high school days. Through the pages of our Yearbook, friends, teachers, sports, the prom, can all find their place in immortality. The Yearbook staff first compiles pictures, statistics, and sayings, and is then responsible for putting it all together around a unifying theme. The Yearbook staff has the opportunity to decide what will be remembered from year-to-year. The process is creative and challenging. Yearbook is offered as a one-semester, five credit course. A student may enroll in this course more than one semester to earn additional credit.
