Pinellas Preparatory Academy is proud to offer a variety of extra curricular activities in the form of after school clubs and a growing athletics department. This page highlights the many club options we have available for first semester this year. Each teacher is responsible for at least one student activity. This is a list of the activities which will be starting next week.
Please remember to pick your children up promptly when the club is scheduled for dismissal. Failing to do so may result in after-care charges to your family.
