Club Growth 2025 (Caleb Coyle)

Clubs are a great way to get involved with the LRCA community. They build leadership skills, help you meet new people, and allow you to become a part of something bigger than yourself. You may find fun connections through the clubs and get to know your classmates through a deeper bond than you would build during school hours. Clubs are a good way to find people with similar interests, and, with the recent club fair, there are many new and existing clubs looking for new members. Many clubs and off-campus teams help boost academic and athletic involvement on students’ own time, allowing more engagement off-campus through extra-curricular activities. Clubs help create a strong sense of belonging and feeling loved; the group activities foster community and may provide a way of destressing through a fun social outlet.

   The club that had the most significant growth from last school year to this year has been H.O.S.A. (Future Health Professionals), growing from 10 to 60 people in just one year. A number of clubs have nearly doubled in size from last year to this, all of which are listed in the graphic below. Participation in clubs at LRCA beef up college resumes and become useful academic resources to highlight your interests and give evidence to your effort and involvement with the school. On the other hand, off-campus sport teams offered are purely for fun and competition (such as trap, swim, fishing, quiz bowl, and disc golf).

    Joining a club has more benefits than it does downsides. Most clubs don’t obligate you to attend or put any weighty responsibilities on your back. Clubs are designed for student flourishing and are intended to be enjoyable extracurricular activities. Being involved and connected with classmates outside of school makes school more a more positive experience and adds a sense of excitement to each week. So whether you’re into robotics, art, theater, or just want to try something new, there’s a club out there waiting for you. Don’t wait for someone to invite you. Sign up, show up, and get involved.
