When students think of school competition, their first thought is usually sports. What many do not know is that there are dozens of other organizations that participate in competitions.

A common misconception about being in a club that competes is that you have to have previous experience. This is a rumor. Most clubs, such as Robotics, will allow students who have never even participated in a technology class to join.

The staff says that being involved with clubs will not only look good on college applications, but it also allows students to expand their learning.

Many of the newspaper staff is involved in multiple clubs, not just the best one, newspaper.. Our staff enjoys History Club, Forensics, and even Debate.

The school wants students to broaden their horizons. The school facilitates students of all types; there is a club for everyone.

A few lesser known clubs that students like to participate in are Science Olympiad, the foreign language organizations and even Art Club. These clubs participate in different competitions each year.

While it may be fun to be involved in a club, people also wants recognition for their achievements. The staff says that if someone is involved in an academic competition it is important that the school recognizes their achievements through video or audio announcements and also during the pep assemblies.
