El Toro High School prides itself on being able to offer extra-curricular activities that interests all students on campus. Whether students are interested in computer science, drama, hunger awareness, discussing anime, or making origami, there is a club for them. El Toro has Service Clubs, focused on community service, Curricular Clubs, focused on academics, and Non-Curricular Clubs, focused on a variety of topics not associated with academia. Students are able to join these clubs at the Club Rush event at the beginning of the school year, as well as throughout the school year. Students that wish to create their own club must visit the Activities Office before Club Rush in order to collect paperwork and obtain an advisor.

All El Toro students are encouraged to join a variety of clubs in order to build lifelong skills and friendships.
