This week, Oak Park High School took on its annual club rush with hundreds of eager students flooding the pavilion. Club week at OPHS is serious business: decorated boards line the rows of tables and club representatives employ all sorts of tactics to encourage students to join their club. From easy-to-access sign-up sheets and colorful boards to candy and other incentives, clubs rack up large numbers of members within the few days they have to promote themselves.
OPHS is well-known for having an extensive list of unique and diverse clubs, and this year was no different with a grand total of 110 clubs for the 2023-24 school year. Many clubs are veterans of the game and have returning members year after year, while others are brand new.
