CLUB SPOTLIGHT

By Alexis Crum and Leila Evans

For this week’s post we are proud to shed a beam of light on our leo’s club and our pep club!

LEO’S CLUB

Leo’s club is an organization in which young individuals come together to make a difference in the world. Leo’s club has operated within 140 countries, often collaborating with other Nations to complete impactful projects. Their mission is achieved through community service, following their core values revolving around Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity. Leo’s club meets once a month during advisory and once a month after school. Led by Mrs. Tarka, this club is an amazing and easy way to get service hours and to work on fun projects with friends! Genevieve Brown, president of the club, says that she loves working on small projects to make a big impact on our community. Talk to Mrs. Tarka or Genevieve about joining!

PEP CLUB

Have you seen the class posters on the walls of our gym and wondered who made them? It’s Pep Club! Led by Mrs. Edwards, pep club is a fun and artsy way to get involved here at SHS. They make the run-through banners for football games, posters for spirit week themes, and sports posters. Pep club president, Alyssa Wallace, said that her favorite part of being on pep club is working with others to boost school spirit. If you aren’t super artistic, don’t worry, there are other jobs that you can do! Pep club meets once a week during advisory, and occasionally after school depending on the sports season. It’s not too late to join! You can ask Mrs. Edwards or Alyssa Wallace about joining.

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
