Leaders and members of clubs have the opportunity to create inclusive communities for the student body which support Lyons Township High School’s mission. By participating in co-curricular clubs and organizations, students are able to develop leadership skills, meet peers with similar interests, and contribute positively to their Lyons Township High School experience.
