Clubs are everywhere

There are plenty of activities to get involved with

Not only are extracurricular activities fun, but they look great on a resume.

Counselors at Ben Davis encourage students to participate in activities beyond school to gain experience for the future.  Ben Davis High School offers a wide variety of clubs. Lots of people know about marching band, choir and sports. However, there are lots of other opportunities for everyone at BD!
