At Groves, athletics are about growth over glory. Through sports, students build skills, develop leadership, practice sportsmanship, and learn what it means to be part of a team. There are no tryouts or cuts for Groves-sponsored teams. If a student is interested, there is a place for them to participate. Groves is a member of the Eastern Minnesota Athletic Conference and affiliated with the Minnesota State High School League. We sponsor 15 programs across three seasons for students in grades 4 through 12, with eligibility varying by sport. Cooperative partnerships with neighboring schools also give Groves students access to 10 additional sports while remaining part of the Groves community.

The performing arts give students many ways to discover and share their creativity. Every student who wants to be part of a production has a place. Students can explore performance, music, design, technology, and behind-the-scenes roles in a welcoming environment, contributing in ways that build on their interests and strengths. Through choir, plays, and other productions, Groves offers seven programs for students in grades 5 through 12, with eligibility varying by program. Students develop confidence, collaboration, self-expression, and a sense of belonging.

Enrichment Clubs give students in grades 2 through 8 a fun, low-pressure way to explore new interests and connect with others. Sixteen clubs are offered each season, with four clubs available each day, Monday through Thursday. Offerings rotate throughout the year, allowing students to continue developing an interest or try something entirely new during the next nine-week session.
