Student Clubs and Organizations

Student Clubs and Organizations are an integral part of the Lumberjack and Lumberjill experience! They provide a meaningful extension of the school day under the supervision of faculty advisors. They enable students to explore areas in which they have a special interest, as well as discover new activities and ideas.

We offer a wide variety of Clubs here at R.A. Long, and the list continues to grow. This is a great way for students to get involved, make connections and get the most out of their high school experience.
