Discover Your Passions and Find Your Community
At Rolling Hills Prep, we believe that some of life's most important lessons happen outside the classroom. Our diverse array of clubs and activities creates space for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build meaningful connections with peers who share their passions.
Whether your child is interested in robotics, creative writing, environmental conservation, or cultural exchange, they'll find opportunities to engage, learn, and lead at RHP.

Beyond Resume Building
How Clubs and Activities Support Student Growth
While college admissions officers certainly value extracurricular involvement, the benefits of participation in clubs and activities extend far beyond building a resume. At RHP, clubs and activities help students:
- Discover new interests and talents they might not encounter in academic settings
- Develop practical skills in organization, communication, and collaboration
- Build confidence by taking risks in a supportive environment
- Create connections across grade levels and social groups
- Learn time management as they balance academics with activities
- Find joy and personal fulfillment through pursuing their passions
The RHP Difference
What sets our clubs and activities apart is our approach. Unlike larger schools where students might face high barriers to participation or leadership, at Rolling Hills Prep:
- Faculty advisors know each student personally and can guide their involvement
- Students can start new clubs based on their interests (with faculty support)
- Leadership opportunities are accessible to students at various grade levels
- Clubs are sized to ensure every member can actively participate
- Activities are scheduled to allow participation in multiple groups
