Plano West clubs came back stronger than ever with a wide variety of organizations for students to join. 

The pandemic created an online school year marking a unique time when many clubs were forced to go online or even dissolve entirely. This left many students without the sense of community their clubs had provided. The 2021-2022 school year has brought many new clubs to Plano West, allowing students to regain an essential sense of community that their clubs provide them. 

Below is a list of clubs offered at Plano west, along with their basic information, allowing each student to find the best club for them.

If students can’t decide what club they want to join, they can click the link below and take a short quiz to determine what club might fit their interests.
