Get Involved
At Donelson Elementary
Donelson Elementary believes school should be more than just academics. It should also foster relationship building, connect students to other ideas and cultures, and most importantly, it should be fun. That's why we ensure our students have clubs to join, stimulate the brain and help connect students with similar interests. We encourage all of our students to join a club that peaks their interest. From academic and student leadership clubs to extracurricular, we believe DES offers every student a path.
Note: The list of clubs and organizations at DES will be updated by September 15, 2023.
