Extracurricular activities
Soundview had many clubs, each one hosted by a teacher, where students could meet others who shared an immediate interest. Some clubs offered in the past were the Knitting Club, the Politics Club, the Franchise Club, the Chess Club, the Drama Club, the Community Service Club, and the Yearbook Club. Usually, the clubs met once a week.
Soundview's athletes were the Soundview Bulldogs, and sports played throughout the year included soccer, basketball, bowling and Ultimate Frisbee. To foster a sense of community and school spirit, all students were encouraged to attend at least some games. In past years, the school had had an annual trip to a foreign country, and students had been able to visit England, Italy, Greece, China, Russia, Spain, and Argentina.
