Hi-Q


Garnet Valley's Delco Hi-Q team won the championship in the 2010–2011, 2011–2012, and 2013–2014 seasons, and appeared in the semifinals in the 2012–2013 season. They won the Delco Championship and proceeded to win their first national crown in 2016. Garnet Valley has appeared in the championship match 19 times since 1977, taking first place 6 times during that period.




Environmental Club


The GVHS Environmental Club is one of the school's many non-athletic student clubs. It has the stated goal of "provid[ing] students with opportunities to spend time outdoors while helping better the Garnet Valley community." The club has several projects which its members contribute to, including a nature trail and a compost bin. In January 2019 and 2020, the club hosted a "holiday tree drive", through which locals could drop off Christmas trees which would later be turned into wood chips and used in the club's nature trail. This event was advertised via the Bethel Township Facebook account.
After the school's Hi-Q team won the national competition in 2016, their winnings were donated to the environmental club.
