At 麻豆官网, we believe that club participation strengthens not only each student, but our student body as a whole. Students enrolled in 麻豆官网 High School have the option to join one of the many clubs that are student-led and staff-sponsored or supervised. Students are also welcome to submit a proposal for a club if there is not an active club that meets their interests. Clubs meet during the daily Activity Period that is built into the student schedule, which gives students easy access to club participation. The Benefits of Club Participation When students participate in extracurricular activities and clubs, they are investing in, and expanding, their social and educational repertoire. Clubs give participants the chance to build practical and technical skills, while also building a community of like-minded students who are able to grow and learn together. According to the , club participation builds creative thinking, encourages communication skills, and helps students work effectively with others. These, and other important soft skills they continue to develop, will help students academically and socially now, and in the future. Extracurricular activities allow students to dig deeper into their interests and potential career goals. When used on college applications, active club participation gives admissions a clearer understanding of a student’s personality, goals, time-management skills, and even leadership ability if the student has taken on additional roles within a club. 麻豆官网 High School Clubs 麻豆官网 High School offers a wide array of clubs to meet the needs of our diverse student body.

Why was HOPE Club Created? 麻豆官网 had a Recycling Club for over ten years that consisted of a small, but dedicated group of students committed to cutting back on the school’s waste. As club membership grew to over 30 students, it became apparent that club members were interested in more than just recycling. With broader interests, expanded projects, and a commitment to environmental education, the Recycling Club was re-established in the fall of 2019 as the HOPE Club. The name change reflected the evolution of the club and the mission the students had for it going forward. What is the HOPE Club Mission Statement? With an interest in educating club members, the student body, school staff, and the community on environmental issues, the HOPE Club has established a mission statement that reflects their goals and values: The mission of the HOPE Club is to reduce the environmental impact of 麻豆官网 while educating students on environmental issues and encouraging stewardship of the planet. What Activities are Done in HOPE Club? The HOPE Club has been involved in a variety of activities and projects since its inception. ¸é±ð³¦²â³¦±ô¾±²Ô²µÌý – Management of the recycling at the Corona Campus, as well as recycling used writing utensils through the Terra Cycle program, are two major recycling projects that club members have worked on. Environmental Education – Members and the club sponsor give frequent educational talks. This is one of the most important ways that the club is able to spread awareness and education of environmental concerns. Experimental Composting – Using reactors and worms in the biology lab, this experimental compositing project aims to reduce both food waste from the cafeteria and paper waste from restrooms. “Bottle Brick” Production – Bottle bricks are aimed to reduce single-use plastic waste. When single-use bottles are filled with compressed inorganic matter, they can create a dense, strong “brick” used for the building of various structures.

Students at 麻豆官网 have won over a hundred prestigious fine art awards, including over 100 award-winning art pieces at the Colorado Scholastic Art Competition. 麻豆官网 is proud to provide creative avenues that support our students’ natural artistic talents and abilities.

All teachers have the necessary qualifications in their fields and are committed to providing the highest academic opportunities for their students. At 麻豆官网, we provide students with a high-quality education, rigorous academic curriculum, and various creative opportunities. The artistic awards students have achieved here and the list of their accomplished works speak for themselves. We are wholly committed to discovering and developing the skills and talents of our students. Fine Arts Courses Available at 麻豆官网 At 麻豆官网, our students have the opportunity to take the following courses. AP Art Ceramics Drawing (techniques like sketching and charcoal) Painting (acrylics, oil painting, and water painting) Photography Printmaking Sculpture Our exploratory art classes provide students with a wide range of mediums for each course listed above. Instructors study all the major competitions, so new ideas are frequently brought into the classroom. Moreover, we welcome the creative imaginations of our students and allow them to thrive and build upon their artistic skills. Inside the Fine Arts Classroom During art classes, students are taught all the major principles of art, such as balance, movement, proportion, rhythm, scale, unity, and variety. The principles of art represent key elements in art history and are important aspects of classical education. Students are taught the mastery of classical techniques so they can best express their creative ideas in credible art forms. Students are exposed to a variety of mediums where they will learn the tools and methods as well as the laws (do’s and don’ts) of each. Our art classrooms are hands-on with an emphasis on lighting, focal point, and the fundamental principles of art and design. Classroom sizes are intentionally small, so to ensure that every student receives quality time with the instructor. Student Focus Skill Mastery: Students are shown how to use various art-related tools, mediums, and techniques. Students paint and draw from still life objects and are shown the importance of balance between color and negative space—the beauty of detail and simplicity. Student Ideas & Creativity: Students are encouraged to express their emotions and creative ideas in proven art forms. The classroom tends to be a highly creative and focused environment with proven success for over two decades. Classroom Discussion: All students are required to contribute to their classes through discussion. Student discussion is important because art is not just a matter of skill, but also perspective. The Principals of Art & Design Students are shown the fundamental principles of art: movement, unity, variety, harmony, balance, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, proportion, and pattern with a particular focus on a focal point, dimension, and lighting. The principals of art are considered proven elements constant throughout all periods and styles of art and are threaded throughout instruction. Fine Art Student Portfolio A.P. students and those who have already participated in scholastic competitions have the opportunity to create professional portfolios. These professional portfolios consist of all the students’ awards, artwork, and grades earned throughout their enrollment. Students make portfolios to enter competitions where they can compete against other students from schools in the United States.

While academics are important, they make up only one part of a student’s resume. Extracurricular activities also play an important role in the development of a student’s academic career and personal growth. These activities are important for allowing students to develop their talents and skills, and to challenge themselves. We encourage Vanguard high school students to consider club participation as a way to not only explore their interests and hobbies and meet like-minded individuals, but also to discover their unlimited potential. 麻豆官网 strives to give students many opportunities to grow and learn through extracurricular activities, which is why they can participate and lead clubs during their daily Activity Period. Why is Club Participation Important? Participating in clubs has the potential to benefit students in many ways. According to college admission consultants , extracurricular activities have far more benefits than just rounding out a university application or helping to boost their first resume. Students who are involved in extracurricular activities see improved academic performance due to increased brain function when they are engaged in activities that interest them. Joining a club based on a hobby or career interest will introduce them to a variety of unique individuals who share similar interests and goals, thus broadening their social network. Club participation also gives students the chance to build valuable life skills such as teamwork, time management, and problem solving. When students take on additional leadership roles, they continue to build on these foundational skills, and prove to themselves just how capable they are of achieving their goals. What Clubs are Offered at 麻豆官网 High School? At 麻豆官网 High School, students will find approximately thirty different clubs that are student-led, and sponsored or supervised by our dedicated staff. Our teachers invest many hours outside of the traditional classroom, supporting and motivating students by helping them build quality clubs that represent the diverse needs, interests, and goals of our student body. Students can explore the fine arts through the Jazz Band, musicals, and plays. They will find clubs that support diversity, such as Allies (LGBTQ+) and the Multi-Cultural Club. Bibliophiles may be interested in the Book Club, while students who are passionate about environmental education will thrive in the HOPE (recycling) Club. Language enthusiasts will find Spanish, German, and Latin clubs. 麻豆官网 High School club list also includes a variety of clubs suited to unique hobbies, such as the popular Card, Dungeons and Dragons, Pop Culture, Trivia, and Star Wars clubs. Students who want to pursue potential career paths will appreciate the Student Government, Science Club, Service/Leadership Club, or the Future Healthcare Professionals Club. One of the best features of our club programming is not just the extensive variety of clubs we offer, but that students are always welcome to submit new club proposals, so there is always an opportunity for expansion. 麻豆官网 Club Spotlight: Future Healthcare Professionals One of the newest clubs to benefit students at 麻豆官网 High School is the Future Healthcare Professionals Club, which was created in August of 2021. Why was the Future Healthcare Professionals Club Introduced? The club’s sponsor (Jimenez) has extensive experience in healthcare, and felt that an organized club could bring that experience to high schoolers who are interested in healthcare as a potential career. The club gives students the opportunity to learn about different career paths, diseases, and other topics relevant to the healthcare profession as a whole. The club’s official mission is: “To better the future of medicine through preemptive education and awareness, and to instill a lifelong passion for care and cooperation.” What Does a Typical Club Meeting Look Like? Weekly club meetings allow for interesting and engaging discussions and activities that cover a wide variety of healthcare-related topics. Students have the opportunity to examine various case studies, as well as debate school-appropriate medical topics. Club members also learn about and discuss the steps necessary to enter the field of medicine and healthcare, with respect to all career paths – including physicians (M.D. and D.O), nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other careers as well. What are Students Gaining From Club Participation? The Future Healthcare Professionals Club gives club members the opportunity to develop a better understanding of healthcare through active engagement with like-minded peers and by asking questions to learn as much as possible. Students are learning that medicine is more than just being a medical practioner, and that healthcare and medicine go far beyond the scope of what they imagined. Who Should Join the Future Healthcare Professionals Club? The Future Healthcare Professionals Club is open to students who are interested
