Should students stick with the same extracurricular activities throughout their education?

In terms of sticking with an extracurricular activity, I think it depends on your motivation for going to that club or society. If you're going along to make new friends, and you're going along just to have fun and try things out and see where your strengths lie, then I think moving around and changing activities can be a bonus. If, however, you are a serious athlete, or you want to become a professional actor or actress, then maybe staying with a specific club, because it's teaching you skills that you're going to need in your later life, is worth doing throughout your school career.
