Traditions and extracurriculars

Greenville has a rivalry with J.L. Mann High School. During "spirit week", a week-long charity event typically held in September, Greenville and J.L. Mann compete to raise more money than each other through extracurricular school events and traditions. At the end of spirit week, a football game between the two schools is held, during which the amount of money both schools raised is revealed at the half.

Greenville has many clubs that students are able to join, including spirit club, book club, film club, theatre team, foreign language clubs (Spanish, French, Latin), step team, and many more.

Greenville holds a fall homecoming dance, in addition to a homecoming football game, and a spring promenade dance. During homecoming week, there are several dress-up days for students to participate in.

Greenville's theatre department presents bi-annual productions: a play in the fall and a musical in the spring. Any student who attends the school is able to audition for a role in these productions and apply for backstage positions.
