With over 90 clubs to choose from, Syosset High School has plenty of options for students to immerse themselves in what they are passionate about. Whether it is a competition-based club like Forensics, HOSA, or DECA, or a club that focuses on personal projects, like Girls Who Code, there are sure to be plenty of options for everyone.
Adelettes:
As Syosset’s group of singers, the Adelettes are dedicated to performing their best, from singing at the pep rally to attending competitions; this group spends lots of time practicing and perfecting their parts. The Adelettes often spend time together rehearsing their individual parts and growing closer to each other. “As a small group of 29, we can all focus on our own parts, like lead, tenor, bass, and baritone. We also have sectionals before rehearsals, which make our connections between each other stronger as we get to know each other better,” said sophomore Evelyn O’Shea.
Future Educators Club:
Future Educators Club allows students interested in pursuing education-related fields to experience what it is like to be an educator. This club provides students with insight into what to expect and activities to help replicate what it is like to be an educator. Junior Kayla Lo said, “My favorite club is Future Educators Club because it allows students like me who want to go through the path of becoming educators, like teachers. It teaches students certain skills to know to be able to teach kids, like lesson planning and what to expect through this profession and career.”
Girls Who Code:
Girls Who Code is a welcoming environment, even as a beginner coder. They help each other and are focused on supporting and empowering others in their community. They focus on many projects, including games and websites, and members collaborate to have fun and make an impact. Junior Manya Prakash said, “I love Girls Who Code because it’s such an amazing environment for girls in STEM.”
Korean Club:
This club provides a fun and engaging experience by discovering Korean culture through its cuisine, arts, and more. Mrs. Lee said, “We sometimes watch videos and give presentations about Korean history, society, holidays, and movies. We also enjoy hands-on activities such as cooking Korean food, creating traditional arts and crafts, and playing Korean games. Our students have participated in events like the School Carnival, and our K-pop Dance Club performed at the Lunar New Year Celebration.”
Mock Trial:
For future lawyers or those interested in what it would be like to be in a court, Mock Trial gives students that experience. In Mock Trial, students simulate what it is like to be in court and spend time analyzing and studying different court cases. The Mock Trial team competes against other schools, either being on the defense or the prosecution. Sophomore Pearl Sheth said, “My favorite club is Mock Trial, and I like it because it allows you to experience what it’s like being an attorney in a criminal court.”
