Club benefits
If you are looking forward to going to college a club would stand out in a college transcript.
It shows commitment, leadership, and activeness within one. This is something all colleges look for in a student. According to “quadeducationgroup.com” most students who participated in 2-3 clubs during high school got accepted or considered into an IVY league school.
Moreover, the biggest benefit one gets from joining a club is enriching themselves by getting to know and learn from different people’s points of view. It helps you communicate, which opens doors to feeling comfortable in any environment because you learn from new points of view.
Educational clubs
Proviso East offers over ten clubs leaning into education. Take for instance African American Club (ran by Mrs. Short in room 243). No matter your race everyone is welcome. Mrs. Short looks forward to making an impact on students by explaining how we are all connected as humans.
