Aztec Families,
Welcome to Azusa High School Activities Office! The Activities office supports the development of our students to pursue their passions into activities that teach them values, lifelong skills, and make meaningful contributions as citizens of our community. We encourage student involvement in activities such as clubs that encompass artistic expressions, environmental protection, academic achievements, leadership roles and competitive excellence in our athletics. We promote school spirit and support our ASB/Leadership students with events such as dances, class competitions and community outreach. We believe it is important for students to have the opportunity to explore different avenues and make connections that will make their time at Azusa High School a memorable and rewarding experience. 

The Activities office may assist you with questions regarding:
Fundraising events
Clubs
Senior events
Student Store
Dances & class competitions
ID cards
Yearbook
Sports
School calendar

You may reach the Activities office at (626) 815-5225. We look forward to assisting you and continuing to support the Aztec pride!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Hilda Quiñonez, Activities Secretary, AHS Classified Employee of the Year 2020
Mrs. Jenny Armas, ASB Clerk
Mr. Rob Velasco, Assistant Principal of Activities and Athletics
