Student Activities & Organizations
At Lake Area Tech, we think there鈥檚 more to life than hitting the books! We encourage our students to get involved in activities outside of the classroom. We鈥檙e big enough to offer tons of fun things to do and small enough to deliver.
Getting involved is a great way to meet new friends. So whether you鈥檙e into sports, music, planned activities, or clubs, we have it all! Our intramural sports program offers softball, volleyball, and basketball leagues that last most of the school year, so you鈥檒l be sure to stay busy while you鈥檙e here.
- Like arts and crafts? Student Activities hosts a variety of activities that allow you to show off your creativity. Try a painting class, a pumpkin decorating contest, or one of the many other creative classes!
- Want to get out and about? Bowl, watch a movie, or get in some simulated golf for free on designated nights in uptown Watertown!
- Like chilling out? Grab a bite to eat from Market 65 and hang out on our new patio furniture outside, or jump online and relax in the student center.
There鈥檚 no excuse for being bored on our campus. Take the first step, which is simply attending one of the events or signing up for an activity. That鈥檚 it!
