Clubs & Activities

Academic Journal

Students from the school submit their best personal work or work from classes to a board of reviewers who critique and edit the submissions. The Review Board (members of the club) determine which submissions are published in the journal to be sent out to all students and staff. This club will offer experience in the peer review process as well as research/writing experience. Serving on the Review Board or having published work in the journal will provide an academic experience to list on college applications.
