Co-Curricular Activities

Co-curricular participation enables a student to develop leadership qualities, to make new friends, to learn new leisure-time activities, and to pursue special interests. The student co-curricular program at Waukegan High School aims to provide a wide range of activities. Every student is encouraged to select one or more activities in which to participate actively.

Participation in student activities is also important to future employers and to college admission officials. They are all interested in the graduate who has a good academic record and who has demonstrated accomplishment in school activities
