Clubs

Grimsley actively encourages students to some of the many clubs offered. Many of these clubs are started and run by the students themselves. While student-created clubs result in many different clubs that represent a wide area of activities, often times these clubs disintegrate after the founder or President leaves.

Some of the many clubs offered at Grimsley include:

Speech and Debate Club
Science Olympiad
FIRST robotics
Handball Club
Spanish Club
G.E.E.K (A club that plays video games and hosts tournaments)
T.A.G.S (Teens Active in Greensboro Service)
French Club
Ultimate Frisbee Club
Book Club
Poetry Club
And many more.

Interested students need to keep an eye on the slideshow and tune in to WHRL, as it is the only place where you can really be notified of clubs that are actively meeting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.71.106.211 (talk) 00:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The general rule of thumb is that if a person's WP article confirms his/her attendance at the school in question, it's OK to list him/her as a notable alumna/alumnus. So how about if you review this edit, checking the WP article page for each entry, confirming that each attended Grimsley High School or its predecessor, Greensboro Senior High School, then re-adding those names that have verification of attendance? This is longstanding practice in Wikipedia school articles; let's not make precipitate edits. 32.218.32.82 (talk) 17:16, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
