Clubs Throughout the Years

What's going on with clubs this year? That's the big question on everyone's mind—from students to teachers. While answers may still be up in the air, we took the initiative to ask some seniors what clubs they'd like to see, what they hope to achieve, and how they'd rate the ones they've been part of in the past.

 

Over the years, students have been able to experience a wide variety of clubs, with some even creating their own if they could find a sponsor. However, the journey hasn’t always been smooth. Freshman year saw no in-school clubs, only after-school ones. Sophomore year offered few options, leaving students who weren’t interested in clubs sitting in study hall. By junior year, things were smoother, though some students were placed in clubs they didn’t sign up for.

 

We spoke to seniors about their thoughts on clubs, and most agreed: improvement is needed.

 

Remaya Bell shared her candid thoughts:  

Food club: “0/10. We didn’t eat; we just sat there.” 

Young Filmmakers: “10/10. Mr. Musgrow was over it, so I really enjoyed it.”

A real Food club: “I'm hungry, and I like to eat.” Letting us know that she plans to rejoin the club if it is better organized, lives up to its potential, and active. 

 

Kyleigh Crooper had her own take on other clubs: 

Beta Club: “1/10. The teacher tried, but it didn’t work out. Deadlines weren’t met or set in place.” 

Key Club: “10/10. It offers many opportunities to get community service hours for graduation. I LOVE the teachers over it—Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Mash.”

Korean Culture Club: “9.5/10. I learned about Ms. Wicker and her travels abroad, and we played Korean games like Chicken Fight.”

The Refurbished Korean Culture Club: “There’s a lot more you can pull from it.” Kyleigh's opinion let us know that she looks for well organized clubs where the sponsors are strong-willed and stand in what they set. 

 

Ajhani Wright wants a change: 

Chick-fil-a club: This year he wants to help serve the community along with the kids compared to previous years where he’s only been in clubs that just sit around.

 

Alexi Lewis loves learning about culture: 

Caribbean Culture Club: This club doesn‘t exist yet but she hopes it gets created and can “teach people about culture, food, holidays, traditions.” 

 

Finally, Khang Tran didn’t have much to say but expressed excitement to  join Beta Club this year, “

looking forward to serving the community. 

 

While seniors had mixed experiences, they remain hopeful that clubs this year will live up to their potential and offer more engaging, meaningful activities.
