Extracurricular Clubs
Grosse Pointe North's Radio Astronomy Team, the 'RATz', under Ardis Herrold, are credited as being the first high school group to build its own radio telescope from scratch in the United States.
The Quiz Bowl team won the Class A Michigan High School State Championship in 2010 and participates in many NAQT tournaments. The team has attended the NAQT National High School Championship tournament (HSNCT) many times in recent years, more notably for their 16th place win in 2006 and 11th in 2008. Notable players from recent years include Jamie Ding (4th place NAQT HSNCT 2009 All-Star), and Stephen Morrison (9th place NAQT HSNCT 2011 All-Star).
The school also is renown for their two bands and their orchestra. They have four instrumental extracurricular clubs: Pep Band, Pit Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Chamber Orchestra.

Famous quotes containing the word clubs:
“The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
