At
Harvard-Westlake, students find an almost limitless landscape of clubs and
activities designed to match every curiosity, passion, and ambition. With more
than 100 student-led organizations spanning academic enrichment, arts and
performance, social impact, culture, technology, and pure fun, there’s
something for everyone — and plenty of room to start something new. From Model
UN and environmental action groups to film production, coding, cultural clubs,
and improv comedy, the energy on campus is electric — driven by creativity,
collaboration, and a shared spirit of exploration. At Harvard-Westlake, clubs
aren’t just extracurriculars; they’re springboards for leadership, friendship,
and discovery.
Student Government
Student council is the middle school’s student government, with senators elected to represent each grade. These senators are dedicated to improving the Harvard-Westlake student experience.
Prefect council is the upper school’s student government, with prefects elected to represent each grade. Prefect council members sit on Honor Board cases, help their peers plan events such as prom, and work to better daily life on campus.
