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:
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
