Student Clubs & Academic Teams

Penn High School believes clubs are a valuable way for students to explore their interests, build friendships, and develop leadership skills.

All clubs are student-initiated and take place during non-instructional time in accordance with P-H-M School Board policy 5730. There are more than 100+ student-led clubs at Penn High School.

While the school provides space and a staff sponsor ensures that meetings are safe and orderly, these clubs are not sponsored by the School Corporation. Participation is open to all students on a voluntary basis, and no student may be excluded. A staff sponsor is present for all club meetings only in a supervisory role and does not lead or direct club activities.

Penn also offers Academic Competition teams. Both lists appear below.

Register to participate in a Club

To participate in any Penn High School athletic sports team, academic competition team, or club, students must first be registered online through “Aktivate” (formerly known as Register My Athlete). Parents/guardians will need to create an account, add their student, and then follow the steps to add the club or team.

Basic steps to follow when registering your student for the first time in Aktivate

Search the Staff Directory for sponsor contact information.

Starting a new Club

Are you interested in starting a new club at Penn High School? Please e-mail Assistant Principal Mrs. Wheeler at kwheeler (at) phm.k12.in.us. Club leaders must complete the required Club Constitution for each school year. The Constitution must be updated each year to reflect the current student leaders, meeting location, and meeting times.

Clubs will not be considered active until they have completed the Constitution, completed the registration process, and received approval from the Assistant Principal.
