Activities
Dulaney hosts more than 70 different clubs and organizations for its students. Aside from dances and other events, the school offers many extra curricular activities in which pupils may participate, from plays to helping others to sports. Among the clubs are: Peer Tutors, Dulanians, Key Club, Sports Teams, and the National Honor Society. The Peer Tutors help students who have trouble in a wide array of subjects, usually for service hours or National Honor Society points. The Dulanians help adjust incoming 9th graders to the school, and show them the way at orientations, and other events. The Key Club is a service oriented club that meets weekly, and hosts many service opportunities during the year. Dulaney also offers an extensive theatrical program, which performs yearly plays as well as musicals. Dulaney students are also later presented announcements through a system that very few schools have. First audio announcements are given over the PA system; after the students learn a few things in the class specifically taken for this purpose and have had time to prepare, they show the announcements on a news program called "Live on 5 News". Dulaney also has a Vex Robotics team, with the FIRST Robotics team eventually falling out of favour; partially due to founder and mentor, Brian Bruneau, stepping down after seven years.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
