Peyton Thespians typically put on 2 performances a year.   Contact Mr. Lee for more information.

Matchwits is an academic team program offered at the Peyton Schools. At the Middle School level (6th – 8th grades), interested students come to a weekly after-school practice session in order to prepare for the meets.  To join, contact Ms. Esser.

At the High School level (Grades 9-12), Matchwits students practice weekly for monthly meets in the fall between October and February. The points for each match accumulate through the final meet.  At that time, the winners are awarded.  In addition, the Matchwits team competes in the district Knowledge Bowl tournament for a chance to compete at State Knowledge Bowl Competition held in April.

The Peyton Junior High Student Council consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Class Representatives. Elections are held each year. The students learn about leadership and make decisions related to the Junior High for the Spirit weeks. To raise funds, they sponsor hat days and teachers’ jeans week, as well as sell candy grams. The money raised funds two Junior High dances and purchases NWEA end-of-year testing incentives for the Junior High. They also donate money as needed for Peyton families in need.

The purpose of the Peyton High School Student Council (StuCo) is to act as a liaison between the student body and the administration and other student bodies within the Black Forest League and to increase school pride by connecting all students. StuCO does this by sponsoring Homecoming, Spirit Weeks, and the Drive Smart Campaign. Elections are held in May to elect officers for the following school year. Class representatives are selected at class meetings at the beginning of the school year.
