Clubs are a key part of LHS culture. They can bring you college and scholarship opportunities, connect you to our school community, and much more. Today we spotlight three LHS clubs that you can be a part of: Japanese Culture Club, Health Occupations Students of American (HOSA) and Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) .
Japanese Culture Club is a group led by juniors Atsutaru Carstens and Kiefer Meyden. This club is mainly focused on the culinary aspect of Japanese culture and is a great way to experience some incredible cuisine.
Their events take place in the culinary room, and are supervised by culinary teacher Jenn Jillions. Their last two events involved making mochi and more.
“We came back [for our second meeting] with this Okonomiyaki idea,” said Carstens. “We pre-made the batter and brought in sauces so you could customize it.”
Their class code is ej5fpwnw if you would like to attend their next meeting.
DECA, a competitive nationwide organization, is a club for students interested in business. It teaches leadership, marketing and entrepreneurship through real world scenarios. It is led by business teacher Frank Stutevoss with the help of two seniors, Beatrice Madden and Ashley Park.
“The main focus is always the State Conference. Students from across the state, choose a business event to compete in,” said Stutevoss. “Sometimes it’s a business plan [and] sometimes it’s a case study [that] they present it through an interview with a judge.”
This club is also great for resume building and scholarship opportunities. Their class code Zmpacdoi is and their meetings are every Thursday at lunch.
Finally, a great club at LHS is HOSA. The club competes in a state competition during the year where students complete a variety of hands-on, written and speech activities to showcase their skills in the medical field.
“Some activities include CPR and a test on biology knowledge,” said junior Brayden Lee. “I joined for the free cookies and because I want to be a doctor.”
If you’re an aspiring scientist who has a sweet tooth, HOSA could be the club for you. Be sure to contact chemistry teacher Keith Grosse as soon as possible so you can be registered for the team.
