For the sports that are not offered at Tech, she can participate at the local school (she already has Varsity letters in Marching Band and Swim from the local HS) But because Tech starts and finishes a half later she can’t participate fully in things like the jazz band and Spanish club at Tech because she has to get to home for Band or Swim practice.

Clubs are really not of much value...unless the student is a leader (like "President") or similar and leads some sort of major, interesting and successful effort. Sports are better if continued into junior and senior years. Leadership like being a "Captain" of a team sport is helpful. I always encouraged potential scholarship kids to do cross-country as almost anyone can do it and running seems to give them them with a healthy lifestyle later.
