Students seem not as interested in clubs as they were before. Many students join extra-curricular activities but, as time goes. by, they end up not participating.

“I feel like many freshmen this year aren’t part of any clubs and choose to hang out with friends than to take advantage of the opportunities clubs can give,” senior Kairis Yam said.

Clubs are important in the eyes of many students because colleges look at the activities they have participated in as much as the GPA. Colleges want to know that students have been able to engage in a community.

“We learn leadership skills and create projects that would benefit our school and community” senior Misty Tran said.

Tran has been active with after-school activities and enjoys going to them for reasons that range far past just having fun.

Some students have been going to clubs but had to quit due to problems such as work. Students have focused a lot less on school and clubs because of the need to provide for their family, etc. Many people in the art club joined but eventually quit going to the lunch or after school meetings.
