“Out of School Time Activities promote curiosity, sparks thought, and captivates the imagination of our students. Athletics offer students an opportunity to build both physical and social skills through organized sports and teamwork. We believe these extracurricular experiences promote the long-term development and success of the whole child.”

- Manager of Student Experience, Kristan Abeshouse

No family will be turned away due to limited resources and may qualify for a discounted fee if your student receives free or reduced lunch. To see if you qualify, please fill out a free and reduced lunch application at schoolcafe.com. You will receive a letter via email notifying you of your approval or denial. If you have any questions concerning your application or status, please reach out to Niki Hutcherson, Food Service Director, at niki.hutcherson@ecspgh.org.

If your student does not qualify for free and reduced lunch, but you also need financial assistance or have any other questions about clubs, please email activities@ecspgh.org.
Several teacher and staff-led clubs naturally align well with the ECS mission to grow citizens and to showcase their advocacy efforts, ECS has created the Emerging Citizen Society programs. With the ECS mission and vision in mind and to ensure students have an opportunity to participate in mission-aligned activities that promote global citizenry, ECS is removing any financial barriers for programs that fall into this category.

To support the Emerging Citizen Society programs, ECS will launch a fundraiser campaign to allow student participation and community involvement. More information about how to donate is coming soon!
ECS accepts all major credit cards but does not accept cash or check. Complete payments through the club's sign-up form.
ECS will not issue refunds.
Parents/guardians are welcome to enroll their child in multiple clubs per session. ECS club registration operates on a first come, first served basis with no lottery. Enrollment closes when the club has reached capacity. If you need additional support please email your school using the buttons above.
Parents/guardians, to assure that all children who want to participate in athletics have that opportunity, there is a 1-sport per season limit. Meaning that your child will not be permitted to play multiple ECS sports at the same time. Also, in order to have a completed application for athletic participation, you and your child(ren) will need to review, sign, and submit the Athletic’s Consent to Participate & Code of Conduct.
For questions regarding after-school programs like clubs, please reach out to activities@ecspgh.org.
