Clubs
FWPA offers many different options for extra-curricular activities in the form of clubs. Most clubs meet after school from 3:05 to 4:00. Some clubs meet before school. Clubs are a great way for students to engage in FWPA life while pursuing various interests. Clubs at FWPA fall under the umbrella of ASB. Students who wish to form a new club need to talk with the ASB Adviser to learn the process.
