As clubs are resurfacing in the school again, new ones have been introduced ranging from writing music to participating in speech competitions. With club day coming up, here is some information for five of the clubs that students can join. 

Music Production Club 

Leaders: Gabriel Decker 

Requirements: None 

Time and location: Once a week in Room 612 

Purpose: The music and Production club allows students interested in music to share ideas together and collaborate. Students will participate in group activities as well as individual projects and will receive feedback from others. Anyone can join regardless of any musical background. 

“It’s a lot of fun and you learn a lot. It’s just a really great way because it’s a great group and you hang out and you write some music,” Gabriel Decker 

Mock Trials 

Leaders: Karen Kim Katies Price 

Requirements: None 

Time and location: Once a month in room 417 

Purpose: Mock trial is a club where people learn about how the court works through simulations, and it provides cases for competitions. Through competitions, students will learn to defend clients. 

“One thing they can expect is to get used to like public speaking just because you participate in competitions. I think they can also kind of expect a lot of writing and working with others because you are on a team with about six to eight other people,” Karen Kim 

Model United Nations 

Leaders: Caroline Massman

Purpose: Model United Nations gives students the opportunity to play the role of a delegate in a mass setting. It gives students an opportunity to like really work on their speaking skills and kind of gives them an opportunity to do like similar debate skills without being so involved in activities such as debate and forensics. 

“There’s minimal involvement with it, but a lot of rewards. You also get the opportunity to travel across Kansas and across the KC metro area, meet people from all over the state who have similar interests,” Caroline Massman
