Activities Homepage -- Performing Arts and Clubs

The Portage Central Activities Department encompasses our extra and co-curricular Performing Arts and student clubs. These groups, from an award winning student newspaper to an internationally recognized performing arts program, are filled with students who lead, debate, perform, play, and work together to better our school, this community, and our future. We are extremely proud of our students and their achievements and encourage them to continue to grow in their passions.

If you have questions, concerns, or would like more information, please contact your student’s adviser, coach, or director or Portage Central’s Activities Director, Kent White, at 269.323.5265 or kwhite@portageps.org.
