Robotics Club

Advisor: Mr. Lore

Robotics Club is a place for students to work collaboratively to learn and apply 21 Century STEM skills. We want to increase student interest and involvement in STEM by engaging in a hands-on robotics engineering experience. Students will learn what it takes to code robots for specific tasks and will compete against other schools in the VEX IQ league.

Volleyball Club is an after school intramural program that focuses on teaching students the basics of volleyball. While our goal is to help students learn the basic fundamentals of the sport, we also strive to make the game fun for all of our players!
