Downingtown Middle School Activities and Clubs

Our school supports a wide variety of after school clubs, student-centered activities, and service organizations. We encourage all students to be involved and to pursue their passions and interests! Check out our activity offerings below. If you feel like there is something missing, or if you have an idea for a new and exciting idea, reach out to a staff-member so we can help you share your interests with other Lancers!
 
Clubs and after school, extra curricular options are a great way for students to stay active and engaged in the learning environment, and to pursue interests outside of the classroom.
 

Many clubs kick off during the first few weeks of the school year, but others start later. In addition to the listing below, club offerings will be advertised on Schoology and building-wide announcement platforms.

If you are interested in joining a club, please contact the CLUB ADVISOR listed under each club description below!

After School Club times and locations may vary and are subject to change. Please reach out to the advisor for more details.
