There's something for everyone when it comes to extracurricular activities at Clinton Junior High School.

While almost every school has the traditional athletic sports opportunities available to students, not many local schools have a lot of clubs and extracurricular activities to choose from. Jim Peck, CJHS principal, is proud of the many opportunities his building offers.

Mr. Peck indicates one of the newest clubs is Maroon Buddies. Maroon Buddies is a part of the international Best Buddies program. The purpose of the club is to make sure everyone feels included.

Many local high schools have an FFA chapter, but not all of them have a junior high chapter. Mr. Peck notes the junior high chapter does a lot of the same events as the high school but on a smaller scale. He says it serves as a great introduction to FFA.

Another program that is unique to CJHS is Skills USA. Mr. Peck says last year was the first year for the program and saw several students compete on a state level. The program aims to equip students with technical and workforce skills.

To learn more about all of the different extra-curricular activities at CJHS, Mr. Peck directs to the CJHS Facebook page and his Instagram page, mrpeckcjhs. Additionally, many of the clubs maintain their own social media pages.
