Upper School Clubs and Activities
Extracurricular involvement is an essential part of the Upper School experience. Collegiate offers a wide range of clubs and organizations that enrich students' education beyond the classroom, providing opportunities to explore personal interests, develop new skills, and build meaningful connections.
Clubs are open to all students in Grades 9–12 and meet during a weekly club period as well as each morning before first period. Every club is student-led and supported by a faculty sponsor, empowering students to shape the activities and communities that matter most to them.

| SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND CLUBS |
|
Students have many opportunities to give their time to Collegiate and Richmond area organizations that serve others. From donating prom dresses to the Fairy Godmother Club to participating in the James River clean-up with Earth Society, each effort makes a difference. Students are required to volunteer a total of 45 hours before they graduate.

| STUDENT COUNCILS |
|
Elections are held each year for members of our student-led councils. All four Upper School grades are represented, and students are assisted by faculty advisors. Both Honor Council and Judicial Council meet confidentially to consider breaches of honor and discipline and recommend action. The SCA organizes events including pep rally, dances, skate nights, and other fun activities.

| AFFINITY & ALLY GROUPS |
|
Collegiate’s affinity and ally groups provide students with spaces to connect, build community, and foster belonging. Affinity groups offer students who share particular identities or experiences opportunities to connect, celebrate, and engage in meaningful conversation, while ally groups welcome students who support and advocate for each group’s mission. Guided by faculty advisors, these student-led groups encourage leadership, personal growth, and greater understanding while strengthening connections across the Upper School community.
