Southeast offers a variety of clubs and activities for students. Joining a club is a great way to get connected and discover new hobbies. Two clubs we want to recognize are Quizbowl and FCS. Whether you’re looking for a place to share knowledge by competing against local schools or a way to strengthen your relationship with God, Southeast has a club for you.
WHAT’S THE BUZZ?
Quizbowl is an academic game in which students buzz in to answer questions on a variety of subjects, including history, science, literature, art, and occasionally pop culture. They compete against other schools in teams of four, while testing their individual knowledge. They meet after school on Tuesdays in club advisor Mary Tarka’s room. “It’s a good opportunity to participate in a fun club with your friends. Getting to go to other schools and meet their teams is great, and winning is even better!” Logan Bruderly stated. The club is a great place to be competitive and grow your knowledge on a variety of topics. If you are interested in joining Quizbowl, see Tarka today!
FAITH, FELLOWSHIP, AND FOOD
Fellowship of Christian Students is a Christian faith-based club that focuses on community and uplifting others. Led by Douglas Craver and Kirk Marsh, the club often meets on Thursdays during advisory in the auditorium. The club focuses not only on your relationship with God, but also on your relationships with your peers and community. Aside from general scripture reading, discussing pertinent topics, and worship, the club takes a heavy focus on community outreach. They make an effort to participate in events like Operation Christmas Child, passing out CHRISTmas cookies to teachers, and the prayer locker. “It provides a good break to the stressful school day,” Sarah Craver stated. “We have so much fun, and you are able to talk with like-minded people.” Craver and Marsh also encourage students to share their gifts with the club, whether that be through music, baking, creative design, or simply attending worship. Regardless of your beliefs or where you are in your walk of faith, there is always an open seat for you at FCS. Talk to Craver or Marsh about being added to the Advisory list; everyone is welcome!
Joining clubs is more than just an extracurricular choice. It provides an opportunity to grow, connect, and discover new passions. By getting involved, you can build confidence, friendships, and skills that last far beyond high school. Joining a club isn’t just about filling time; it’s about shaping who you become.
