Clubs & Organizations

We have many clubs for students to choose from to round out their academic career at Morristown East. From career exploration to recreation, we have students covered. Our competition teams such as Beta Club, DECA, FBLA, and Skills USA have won several awards at the state level, but we also offer clubs that are more laid back such as D&D, chess, and anime club. If you are interested in a club contact the sponsor for more information.

Nutrition Advisory Councils (NACs) are student-led and work to affect healthy change through student-to-student nutrition education aimed at increasing the daily consumption of fruits and vegetables and physical activity among their peers.

NACs give students the opportunity to be nutrition education leaders by working directly with their peers. NACs are sponsored by a teacher, but the real work is done by the students. Their goal – to inspire healthy change at their schools.
