Chess Club
Led By: TBD
Description:
Chess Club is for anyone interested in developing their chess skills or just wanting to learn the game. We meet regularly after school in the cafeteria two days a week from November through February. During that time, we also competed against other schools’ chess clubs. Our goal is to qualify for the State Chess Tournament in February. This is a great opportunity for any chess player.

WYSE – Worldwide Youth in Science/Engineering
Led By: Ms. Marjorie Johnson, Mrs. Autumn Moss, Mr. Kevin Emmons & Mrs. Cathy Stone
Description:
The Academic Challenge is a competitive series of tests created and administered by Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering and offered to high school students in Illinois and Missouri. The tests are now offered by more than 50 community colleges and universities and are designed to present a challenge to the brightest students.
Test material is drawn from senior high school and freshman level college curricula. Written by teams of college and university faculty, subjects include biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering graphics, English, mathematics, and physics. Each test production team produces three tests of increasing levels of difficulty, regional, sectional and state finals. Students compete as individuals and as part of a team (when their school fields a team); they have 40 minutes to complete multiple-choice tests that range in length from 30 questions (computer science) to 100 questions (English).
