Clubs are more than just fun activities. Clubs help students find their passions, make friends and build skills that could be used for future careers. The more clubs mean more chances for everyone to join a club they care about. When students do what they love, they are happier and more motivated.
Clubs help students connect with others who share their interests. Making friends can be hard in a big school, but clubs create a smaller community where people feel like they belong. This can improve school spirit and even help with mental health.
Important skills like teamwork, leadership, and time management are indirectly taught in clubs. These aren’t just useful in school, but also in college and future jobs. When schools offer a variety of clubs, they prepare students better for life beyond high school.
Hamilton Igunwe, junior, stays late after school for track. He explains he got multiple opportunities to see the table top club and explains its underwhelming and confusing because he expects more of a variety. However he insists, “Other students would have to experience it for themselves before judging them.”
Kaden Boyd, sophomore, wished there were more hands-on clubs. “I feel like the clubs we have here aren’t really hands-on like a robotics club would be a good way to be active in that club. Tech club is a good way to get active and contribute instead of sitting around.”
