South Meck Clubs & Organizations: Part 1

Hello South Meck Students! As you may know, Club Day was this past Wednesday. Clubs are a great way to make new friends, gain new experiences, learn new things, and broaden your horizons overall. Extracurriculars such as clubs and organizations look great on college applications as they display your skills with time management, teamwork, and your ability to adapt in new situations and environments. We have a very broad spectrum of clubs to choose from this year. Take a look at these clubs and their descriptions (as stated by people in the clubs) below! As the number of clubs and organizations we offer at South Meck is so large, we decided to split this into two parts, so be sure to check out our other article as well!

For more information about each club (such as day/time of meetings and advisors), you can check out the ICC Website for a full listing as well as email contacts for advisers.
