Through several different projects we will explore App Development. Regardless of experience, our club meetings will be open to all, and if experience is limited your project will be adapted accordingly. An example of one of these projects could be to develop a calculator app from scratch and even building the UI (User Interface).

St. Jude Club

Faculty Advisor; Ms. Szeliga

We would brainstorm ways that Benjamin could become involved in raising money for children with cancer. This could include, organizing drives for hospital necessities, a bake sale, or raising money during sports events.

Most of the club meetings would be organizational.

Drum Line

Faculty Advisor; Mrs. Austin

Student Leader(s);

The Drum Line builds community and promotes school spirit with performances at home football games, special assemblies, and multiple events throughout the year. We operate as a team, with all parts and all players equally important to our success. It helps if you can read music at least a little, but no prior musical experience necessary. We practice during Community Block D as a group, with individual practice on your own time. Performances are fun and, while not the goal, can get loud!
