Astronomy Club: The Hicksville Middle School Astronomy Club is a great way for students to learn about and observe the universe that they inhabit. Students will actually be able to gaze upon the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets through binoculars and telescopes several times throughout the year. They will learn how to navigate the night sky and find some notable celestial objects within it. Astronomy is a great gateway to other scientific endeavors as it can encompass physics, chemistry, biology, geology, engineering, robotics, and more! 

Robotics Club: Goals of the Meteorites (FLL Robotics Team): Introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FIRST LEGO League teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.

Ecology Club: The purpose of Ecology Club is to build a community of like-minded, diverse individuals who are interested in ecology, evolution, zoology, botany, and/or anything else dealing with life and the outdoors.

Math Olympiads:  Let the problem solving begin.  Join us as we work backwards, guess and check, make a list or draw a picture to solve challenging math problems.  Math Olympiads is offered all year.  

Science Olympiads: Join Science Olympiad and become a part of a team that will compete in series of events against others schools.  Participants will combine fun, creativity and research to solve problems and construct devices in a year-long project to prepare for the Regional and State competition.  Students who qualify will receive an invitation letter to join.

Astronomy Club: The purpose of the Astronomy Club is to provide an opportunity for students to debate and discuss topics regarding Astronomy. The goals of the Astronomy Club is:

To provide an opportunity for students to become aware of general principles involved in Astronomy. To provide an opportunity for students to discuss and debate ideas currently studied in astronomy. To provide an opportunity for students to share the results of current research in Astronomy by making presentations.  To provide an appreciation for Astronomy.

Mu Alpha Theta: Math Honor Society

Math Honor Society:  The purpose of this organization is to promote scholarship in, and enjoyment and understanding of, mathematics among high school students.

We participate in mathematics competitions and research such as the AMC 12.

National Honor Society:  NHS does community service while maintaining grades above a 93 GPA, creating leadership within the school and community. We do collections for local organizations, each of the students do their own volunteer projects, we help PTA groups with needs throughout the year, create projects within the school to benefit students, etc.

Robotics:  We create a robot to compete at a competition. We also get involved with community events. We donate to various programs.

Science National Honor Society:  The Science National Honor Society is the only national organization that engenders a new group of young thinkers who will be the future of industry, research, and scientific exploration for America. The Science National Honor Society recognizes sophomores (In the STEM Track only), juniors and seniors who achieve excellence in the areas of scholarship in science, character, leadership, and service.

Membership in the SNHS is an honor bestowed upon a student for his/her accomplishments in the field of science and overall academic achievement. Students eligible for membership must:

• Have been in attendance at Hicksville High School for at least one full semester prior to induction.

• Enrolled in an advance (AP or College) science class this current school year.

• Have an overall unweighted cumulative GPA of 90 with a 93 unweighted GPA in science classes.

• Have a grade of 85 or above in any Regent exam taken.

• Took the AP Exam in any AP course they took.

Science Olympiads:  Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division. Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation.

Teamwork is a required skill in most scientific careers today, and Science Olympiad encourages group learning by designing events that forge alliances. In Elevated Bridge, an engineering whiz and a kid from wood shop can become gold medalists. Similarly, a talented builder and a student with a good science vocabulary can excel in Write It Do It, one of Science Olympiad's most popular events.
