There are a variety of ways to be involved with the Social Studies Department at Palatine High School. Beyond our rich course selection, our teachers coach sports, sponsor clubs, and organize events for the student body. Check out what works with your interests and get involved!

The Service Club participates, volunteers and organizes several events throughout the year to benefit our community and school.

The Service Club meets every Thursday at 7:30 AM
The Service Club is co-sponsored by Social Studies teacher Brittany Berleman.
