Clubs are a great way to get involved here at South High without any pressure of trying out or auditioning. At South we offer academic, future ready, and recreational clubs. So many kids want to get involved in high school but don’t want to play a sport or act in a play, so here is a list of a few of the clubs we offer, with information provided from the sponsors.

“Personally, I grew up in an agricultural community, so it takes me back to my roots. It gives students an escape from artificial spaces and a chance to be in nature to cultivate a passion and a new skill. I hope long term that eventually it will be a green space for teachers to bring classes, students to eat lunch and escape; and even possibly expanding to the D/E courtyard with animals! I hope it will out live me!“
