Clubs and Affinity Groups
Our selection of student-driven clubs is deep, diverse, and dynamic. A true reflection of our student body! We are committed to strength-based education. That’s why we encourage students to explore opportunities beyond the classroom to deepen their current passions as well as discover new ones.
Clubs offer a way for Wolcott students to create connections, collaborate with others, take on leadership roles, and just have fun. Interested in more than one club? That’s what we like to hear!

From our students
These videos were created by Channel 524, Wolcott’s student-run production company, and feature voices from our students and community. They discuss various student life groups and activities!
Student-Led
Our Erase the Hate and The Beloved Community initiatives demonstrate how our clubs impact school culture. These initiatives, led by our student affinity groups, Leadership Teams, and Arts & Innovation Department, engage the entire school in performances, assemblies, peace rallies, and art installations. The overarching goals are to promote community involvement and use assembly, conversation, and celebration as vehicles for encouraging unity and empathy in and out of school. To further their reach in the community, these groups often set goals of participating in related service projects.
Communications & Design
Many of the videos you see on this website were filmed and produced by the Wolcott Media class and after school media club. We are fortunate to have a full suite of cameras, equipment, and media-based computer workstations to achieve professional results. Students enjoy learning about how “the magic is made” by having the opportunity to do it themselves, with the help of experienced teachers.
S.T.E.A.M.
Our S.T.E.A.M. & Design Clubs support our students as they explore the intersection between engineering and innovation. The Robotics Club and Girls Who Code are two of Wolcott’s Innovation Clubs. They provide opportunities for students to creatively pursue interests in technology while also strengthening leadership skills, fostering cooperation, and improving time management and communication skills. City-wide competitions offer students a chance to showcase their work.
In our Innovation & Design Lab, students learn about engineering design through the use of advanced machinery, including laser cutters, 3D printers, and CNC carving tools (computer numerical control). Through coding and building functional products including robots, these clubs inspire students as they learn about mechanical, electronic, and software systems.
Wolcott’s Robotics team, the Bionic Wolves, has been invited to present as conference speakers from 2016-2020 based on their innovative methods of computer coding, and has also received recognition by the “Educate to Innovate” White House Initiative. The Wolcott team has been recognized by the Inspire blog on the FIRST website, which is shared to over a million people in 100 + countries.
