Quick Recall/Speech and Debate

Quick Recall is a four-person academic team trivia game. The questions come from social studies, science, math, ELA and arts and humanities. Every Wednesday after school, students work with their teammates to answer more general knowledge trivia questions than the opposing team. Students who play Quick Recall have good memorization skills, and interest in diverse topics, speedy recall and a willingness to take risks and be wrong. In the spring Quick Recall students participate in the State Governor's Cup competition. There are three levels: a 6th grade team, a JV team for 6th & 7th grade, and a Varsity team for 7th & 8th graders. If you love trivia and learning new things, come join the Quick Recall team!

Kentucky Youth Assembly

Kentucky Youth Assembly (KYA) is a three-day experiential learning conference in which students participate directly in the Commonwealth’s democratic process. Acting as Senators and Representatives, students will write, debate, and vote on legislation that affects them. As candidates, lobbyists, or members of the media, students experience the rich spectrum of activity that constitutes our political process. As advocates and justices, students argue and vote on bills in the actual House of Representative and Congress chambers of Kentucky. Officers elected by students serve as Governor, other elected offices, and conference leadership. During the entire process they are supported by YMCA professionals, advisors, and volunteers.

KYA offers students the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of issues, develop critical thinking skills, and articulate their beliefs while engaging constructively with those who hold like and opposing views.

Robotics and Minecraft

Coding + Circuits Club: Get creative by writing code and building circuits! Students will build electronic circuits on a breadboard, kinda like a digital scratch pad.

Minecraft club allows students to explore Minecraft game design concepts by creating their own levels, maps, structures, and design them for others to explore. The Minecraft club will learn to game together and even work with coding.
