Thinking about joining a club? Well, it’s a good thing Liberty has many clubs and there is something for everyone.

Some popular clubs include, DECA, FCCLA, StuCo, and HOSA. DECA is an international association of high school of marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality and marketing.

Mr. Barnes sponsors DECA and loves everything about it. His favorite thing about DECA is getting to work with a bunch of different kids in a different atmosphere.

So why should you join DECA? You can get college scholarships, learn to promote yourself and get to meet and work with awesome people.

FCCLA stands for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America and is a national career and technical student organization that provides personal growth, leadership development, and career preparation opportunities for students in family and consumer sciences education.

Mrs. Pizzo sponsors FCCLA and suggests you join because you learn how to better communicate with families and get better community interaction. Mrs. Pizzo wanted to sponsor FCCLA for many reasons.

“I love family consumer classes. I want it to be successful,” she said. Mrs. Pizzo loves the interaction with the kids, and loves even more seeing them grow.

President of FCCLA Lindsey Gevers joined the club her sophomore year because she wants a job in teaching and the club is really geared towards jobs like that. Lindsey’s favorite thing about the club is how much community service they get to do and working with kids.

StuCO is another great club to join. It’s a really great organization to be in, for school spirit, gets you involved in school, it creates leadership skills, and fosters leadership. Mrs. Holmes is the sponsor of this club.

“It’s a great club to be apart of, the students are fun and I really enjoy being part of the events,” Holmes said. Her favorite part of being apart of StuCO is getting to work with great kids everyday and being able to plan awesome events.

Katie Coyle, who is the president of StuCo, joined her sophomore year when Mrs. Sutherlin asked her and now she loves the club.

“It keeps me coming to school everyday,” Katie said. Her favorite thing about the club is the environment because everyone is very accepting. It’s like a second family.

HOSA is a great way to meet students and not just at Liberty and also health professionals and to meet people that you could work with later in life.

Mrs. Strathman sponsors HOSA and loves it. Her favorite thing about being the sponsor is seeing students get internships, doing community service like helping with make a wish foundation. These people help make the world a better place.

Mrs. Strathman loves the field of medicine and science. It’s her passion and she believes being involved in a good club makes a student well rounded.

Mrs. Strathman is a strong believer in what the club is all about.

Maddie Armstrong, who is the president of HOSA, joined the club her sophomore year. She wants to go into the medical field and her teacher had talked about it and it seemed like a good opportunity.

Maddie’s favorite thing about the club is being involved in volunteer work and getting connected with people in the medical field.

Being involved in a club is such a great way not only to get involved in your school but to meet some great people, so be scared to join a club now because if you don’t you’ll definitely regret it.
