[edit] Clubs and extracurricular activities

Students in the school can participate in many extracurricular activities, such as Music, Science Olympiad, Independent PE, and sports in the neighboring Boys and Girls Club. One of the most popular clubs is Club LIVE!, which presents an anti-drug message while taking kids to movie nights, amusement parks and other fun activities. Academic clubs such as Math League and Math Counts also meet regularly. Most clubs meet at lunch or after school.

The ASB (Associated Student Body) helps with the school activities, such as planning the school dance and spirit week. ASB usually sets up music every Friday during lunch. The Bobcat News Network (BNN) is played every Wednesday in the morning, discussing upcoming school events, reminders, lunch clubs, and early lunch dismissals.

Carmel Valley Middle is currently offering a new elective call Heroes, where students pledge to become drug free and tutor younger students.
