High School Clubs
We believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our diverse range of extracurricular clubs and activities offers students the opportunity to explore, collaborate, and excel in areas that align with their passions and interests. From competitions and engaging workshops to our socializing educational clubs, our extracurricular offerings enhance the DATA journey and develop well-rounded individuals.
We would like all of our students to enjoy the 360-degree experience while attending Design & Technology Academy. We do this by providing a welcoming atmosphere where students can explore and participate in meaningful enriching extra-curricular activities in addition to challenging coursework.
With well over 30 clubs and organizations, Design & Technology Academy offers students and their parents many opportunities to enjoy our community and its diverse interests.
