We encourage all students to join one or more co-curricular activities/athletics, to assist their ability to cooperate with fellow classmates, to take as well as give in an activity shared with others, and to develop skills in leadership as well as fellowship. Here are clubs and organizations offered at Tomahawk High School:
Tomahawk is a member of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), the Great Northern Conference (GNC), and the National Football Conference (NFC). To view sports offered by Tomahawk High School, please click on the Athletics Tab to your left.
Drama
The drama program offers all students an opportunity to try out for several plays during their four years in high school. Students may also work on makeup, staging, lighting, props, and student directing. A one-act play is entered in a forensics competition each fall. An all-school play, generally consisting of several acts or a musical is presented in late winter. Then a children's play (presented for the elementary school) is presented in the spring of the year. Audition information is posted in the hallway and announced throughout the school year.
eSports Club
eSports was new to Tomahawk High School in the 2020-2021 school year due to grants from WiLS, STAR, and TAFFY. eSports is a fast-growing competition video game sport in schools and colleges. Tomahawk students compete virtually against other teams across the state of Wisconsin in the fall and spring season. Much like physical sports, the games played each season are different. For instance, last spring we competed in Rocket League and Smite. This fall we will compete in Smash Bros and hopefully Overwatch. This is a great way to connect with students who share the same interests. All players are welcome--beginning to expert!
The Fine Arts Club of Tomahawk High School is dedicated to supporting the arts (Art, Drama and Music) and artists of our school by encouraging the creation, execution, and appreciation of work in all branches of the fine arts. Our mission is grounded on the belief that the arts are vital to our culture and that artists deserve our support.
By serving our mission, we hope to enrich the cultural life of our students and to encourage each artist’s unique individual expression. To accomplish our mission, as a student lead group, we will provide support to each other as fellow artists, bring the fine arts to the community, provide experiences in the fine arts, and explore our futures as artists.
