Exploring interests, meeting new people and checking the club box on college applications are all marketing techniques for clubs at Shorecrest. But with the latest additions of various clubs, the options might feel endless.
“I think that every student will find something that resonates with them, that they’re interested in, and that makes me really excited when I feel that there’s something for everyone in our club offerings,” US Head Dean and 12th Grade Dean Stacy Alexander said.
Not only is there a new selection of clubs, but starting this year, clubs are being separated into two categories: academic and special interest clubs. By separating the clubs, it can foster a more organized environment.
“I’m very excited about that differentiation, because then that sets the special interest clubs apart, where it’s more your passions outside of school,” Alexander said.
Junior Donyae Hazley — founder and co-president of the Pre-Dental Club — started it for students considering dentistry as a career.
“I just wanted to make it because we have a Pre-Med club, but it doesn’t really dive into teeth and dentistry,” Hazley said.

Club members can learn through hands-on experience, including learning with professional dentists.
Also in accordance with STEM, junior Carter McCleish introduced the Math Club. He started this club for people who are passionate about and intend to further develop their skills within the subject. “I would say that we want to build a community between everyone who likes math,” he said. “I hope that everyone feels included in our club, everyone can get better, and we can compete and do well in competitions.”
Math Club provides a space for students to explore their problem-solving skills, whether it be a simple algebra equation or something more complex. They can also apply their knowledge at competitions and Olympiads with other schools.
“I can improve my math, which will help me get better grades in class, and I really want to compete, too,” Math Club member and freshman Sachin Nayegandhi said. “I like having a designated time during school hours to just focus on math.”
