Ethnic Studies
The Ethnic Studies Club offers a safe space for students to learn about, celebrate, and discuss the histories, experiences, and culture of racial-ethnic groups in the United States. The focus is on fostering friendships, removing barriers, and increasing intercultural awareness and understanding. The club is aligned with Ethnic Studies (ETHS 2400) and focuses on five communities: American Indian Experiences, Black Experiences, Latino Experiences, Asian Experiences, and Pacific Islanders Experiences, with an initial focus on Muslim and Asian experiences. The club is open to everyone!

WebsiteYearbook
The Yearbook class makes the yearbook for the school. The point of this course is to create a final product for the school and learn the skills required to make a quality product. The publisher dictates deadlines for completion of this product and our course timeline is based on their deadlines. This course is very much like having a job in the “real” world. This is a class that requires lots of hard work and dedication, but we get to celebrate our hard work with pride in a quality product.
