Mitty offers many extracurricular activities for its students. There are over 45 active clubs and programs on campus throughout the year that provide a space for students with common interests to have shared experiences. These clubs meet before, after, or during school.
Each year, as we return to school in the Fall, students may organize additional clubs by recruiting a moderator, completing a "new club application", enlisting a roster of members, and receiving approval from the Director of Student Activities. Proposed clubs needs to align with AMHS policies and doctrines.
These clubs are meant to serve as a way for students with common interests to gather, share experiences, and build community. Our club structure does not require or provide a means for students to miss academic school time for events. Fundraising is NOT ALLOWED for our clubs, and travel that involves overnight stays WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
Acts of Random Kindness (ARK) is a positive space which provides opportunities to create and fulfill acts of kindness that boost your well-being and the well-being of those in your community. Simple acts of kindness bring us happiness, and with the foundation of kindness, ARK hopes to promote student wellness on campus. We aim to provide social connectivity, an emphasis on gratitude, and creative ideas to give back to society and family.
