There is a variety of activities to participate in. Aside from the usual sports, there are a lot of clubs and service learning groups. Leaders of these clubs/organizations are usually teachers.

Kewanee is easy to fit into, and it is rare that people feel there is a segregation between groups. getting involved is simple, and there is really something for everyone. while communications might not be the best, our school is still growing, and its only going up from here!
