Damonte has a lot of different clubs and sports for students to participate it. If a person want, they can be very involved with the school since there are many opportunities for people to meet other peers and be more involved with the student body.

Our performing arts program is the best in the county as it is our specialty program. Our sports teams are decent and majority of our classes are beneficial to students.
