Clubs and Activities

Each student at Keene High School is encouraged to participate in activities/clubs.

There are a number of sports teams and over thirty clubs and activities for student participation. Most clubs are open to any KHS student regardless of age or year in school. Club meetings are outlined in the Daily Announcements and posted around the school.

How to Start a Club

Keene High First Robotics is a year-long club that introduces students to science, technology, engineering, and teamwork. They work with local companies to design and build a robot to solve a problem. In the fall, they work to refine our team and to fundraise for travel to regional and national events. Club members use local events as a showcase to display our robot to the community. The club then works on team building until the kickoff of the next problem in January. The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of students and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in a series of competitions.
