DEAF ACADEMIC BOWL – The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Academic Bowl Team at Hinsdale South allows deaf and hard of hearing students to utilize their knowledge of numerous  subjects in a learning yet competitive environment.  Academic Bowl is an extension of the classroom in that it takes learning to the extra curricular level.  Students compete in a series of meets answering questions that challenge ones mind.  They compete against other schools with deaf and hard of hearing students and programs.  Students practice vigorously until the day of competition.  The team’s two biggest events are at Harper College's DEAFEST and a  Regional Competition held at a different school throughout the Midwest Region every year.

CHESS – If you’re a competitive player, you will want to join the Chess Team.  A regular schedule of matches, along with team and individual tournaments, is played from October through February.  IHSA sanctioned finals are held for teams; state-level competition for individuals as well.

ETA SIGMA STEPPERS – The Eta Sigma Steppers is a precision step team that strives for excellence.  Its mission is to be a positive influence to others.  Commitment to the group, hard work and passion are key qualities expected of student members.  Membership is open to the entire school.  Regular attendance to all rehearsals is required for continued participation.

MATH TEAM ‑ Math Team is open to all students wishing to participate in mathematics competitions throughout the year.  Students are required to attend scheduled practices in order to be eligible to compete.

SCHOLASTIC BOWL ‑ The Scholastic Bowl team is composed of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors who excel in quick recall of facts, figures, and general trivia. The team's knowledge in the areas of math, science, social studies, literature, and fine arts is challenged as the team members attempt to answer questions in competition patterned after the GE College Quiz Bowl.  The group begins working together in September to prepare for matches throughout the year including the West Suburban Conference competitions, several invitational meets, and the IHSA sectional and state tournaments.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS - The Special Olympics Program provides an opportunity for students with special needs to be involved in the activity and athletic programs at Hinsdale South.  The program’s goal is to develop better physical fitness and personal well being in its participants.  The program also provides the students with a better understanding of what it takes to be a part of a team, what it takes to be competitive, how to work toward a goal, and to feel more connected with the school community. Students must qualify based on their IEP to participate on the team.

SPEECH TEAM ‑ Hinsdale South's Speech Team competition begins in October and ends in February with the IHSA District, Sectional, and State meets.  There are thirteen competition categories‑‑from intense dramatic duets to logical, original expression to radio news broadcasting.  If you like performing or public speaking, or want to become better at both, join the Speech Team.
