SHES Clubs/Activities

We are excited to share the many opportunities available for students to get involved in after-school clubs at Steelton-Highspire Elementary! These activities give students the chance to explore new interests, build skills, and connect with friends.

We encourage your child to join a club (or more than one!) and discover new interests while building lifelong skills. If you have questions, please reach out directly to the club advisor listed above.

Thank you for your support in helping us provide enriching experiences for our students!
