We want to take a moment to encourage all Spartans not already involved in an extra or co-curricular activity to find a group to join. Participating in a high school club is a great way to enhance both academic and personal development. Clubs provide an opportunity to make friends with similar interests, do something you feel good about, and even add to your resume. For students planning on going on to college after graduation, sustained and meaningful club participation, which means joining a club that pairs well with your future plans and then sticking with that club throughout your high school career, is something very beneficial to include in university applications. Club, team, and performance group participation fosters personal growth, social skills, and community involvement, all of which prepare students for any type of future endeavor. Click here to view Homestead’s list of extra and co-curricular activities. If you have an idea for a club that we do not currently offer, please email Assistant Principal Jen Bay (jbay@sacs.k12.in.us ) to learn more about starting a new club at Homestead.
Thirteen Homestead High School sophomores and juniors attended the Fort Wayne Rotary World Affairs Conference on the Purdue Fort Wayne campus. This annual event challenges students from the area to learn and think critically about global and local issues affecting them and their communities. This year the students convened to learn about the benefits and risks of using digital technologies and social media. Students had the opportunity to interact with conference experts and peers from other high schools, exchanging ideas and developing positive strategies for the use of digital technologies and social media.
