Cranford High School has over 70 extracurricular groups. The CHS Model United Nations team returns each year with numerous awards with many conference officers as well as one Secretary General in 1996–1997. The Youth In Government Team has also been accustomed to high achievement with a smaller contingent of members. Members of the Youth in Government Club have been successful in passing mock legislation in this annual statewide conference and in having students serve in the Cabinet. Both clubs have produced political science and international relations students at the collegiate level.
