Student Activities and Leadership
Andover students seize their opportunities. Whether starting up a new club from scratch or editing the school newspaper with a hundred years of history, Andover fosters bold, thoughtful, and engaged student leadership.
There is a ton to do here beyond study, but you already knew that. The Student Activities Office and Student Activities Board plan fun, exciting and varied events for all student interests. (Think dances, trips to Boston, dodgeball tournaments, performances). We make sure students are never bored and that there’s always something different going on.
But beyond weekend entertainment, student activities are meant to develop thinkers and doers. Try new things. Put yourself out there. Grow in unexpected ways. Set the tone for your Andover experience.
“Anyone can be a leader here. You don’t need a title. What you need most, I’d say, are passion and self-motivation.”

Our Blue Key Heads are Andover’s unwavering spirit leaders. They’re on the sidelines at big games, ubiquitous around campus events, and constantly amping up the energy of our students. The public auditions every spring in Paresky Commons are a must-see. Official uniform: blue skirt, face paint, megaphone.

The Weekender announces everything going on for students in a given week. Here's a recent sample.
