Activities & Clubs

Join in an activity or club to get connected at Grafton! We have something for every student. To learn about a club, please email the sponsor directly for more information.

Want to suggest a new club or activity to Grafton? Contact Ms. Meredith Archer or Mr. Gerris Greene, GHS Activities Directors. They will be happy to talk you through the process for starting a new club or activity. Ms. Archer's email is marcher@ycsd.york.va.us and Mr. Green's email is ggreene@ycsd.york.va.us.
