North Penn has something for everyone.
At North Penn, the opportunities to get involved in clubs, organizations, and activities are infinite. Every day, something is happening—before, during, or after school. With over 100 clubs and organizations to choose from there’s something for everyone: athletics, gaming, engineering, academics, or writing and publishing. Our students are incredibly dedicated to their extracurriculars; for example, theater students often stay as late as 10 or 11 p.m. during rehearsals for major productions such as “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “As You Like It”. Some of the sports teams even have practices that last for hours regularly. This demonstrates the exceptional commitment, perseverance, and patience our students bring to the table.
