The Official High School Activities Thread

[CutiePie2000]

I'll let my "Hogwarts" past shine through:

Prefect in Grade 12
Volleyball
Basketball "colours"
Cross-Country
Track and Field - "colours"
Rowing

Lots of sports and other activities that looked good on the college application, but no one has asked about since then...

Are you kidding? Your school had prefects? What did you get to do??

And if it turns out you were joking, ignore this and try not to laugh.

I'm kind of surprised I didn't post in this thread before. Just because I graduated 26 years ago...

Spanish Club (officer for 3 years)
National Honor Society
Girl Scouts (yeah, in high school, we didn't tell ANYBODY ever!)
Candystriper (volunteering at local hospital, knew it would be a prereq to getting into the med school program I wanted to get into, ended up finding out about Occupational Therapy while helping the Physical Therapists in their area and ended up majoring in OT instead)
Worked 20-30 hours a week from the time I was 16

I had something to do every day of the week, although it doesn't look like much compared to some of these lists!

When I was in high school they needed a student to sign all the checks to pay for stuff for the musicals and plays in my school. They didn't want to have a formal club, so since I was in all the plays and musicals anyway it was me.

The good news was that because I was the only member, not a lot of people knew about it and there wasn't the "drama club geek" distinction.

That and I got to choose the plays and musicals we did. And my budget was a lot bigger than a lot of other clubs, lol.

I swear I was in other clubs and sports teams that had more members than just me.

I had two summer jobs, one teaching swimming 15 hours a week and one working as a barback (then a waitress) at an outdoor seasonal bar and grill.

I was a HUGE drama geek in high school. But since my major is theatre, no one should be surprised...

National Merit Scholarship Finalist
-I didn't get the scholarship from the National Merit Corporation, but I still get bragging rights and a fancy scholarship from my university
Beta Club
National Honor Society
EAST Lab- basically, a community service class that uses technology as the mode of service. I'd do video work for various organizations for free. I learned how to use professional grade video cameras and software.
International Thespian Society
-on the cabinet all three years, president my final year
Troubadours (drama club)
Forensics (the theatrical kind, not CSI)
- I had a lot of finalist and third place trophies to my name. I was also a captain of our squad my senior year.
Musicals- Seussical (chorus), Footloose (Wendy Jo)
Plays- Juvie (Carrie), DUI=DOA (Bus Child #2)

DUI=DOA was the most awful play I've ever read...

I was also inducted into a French honor society my senior year, but that wasn't a big deal.

[sjsoffer]

It's interesting to see how many different activities schools have, wow!
I went to a tiny, rural high school so we didn't have a lot of clubs or organizations sadly! I was in:
Drama Club
International Thespian Society (founding member; officer)
Stage Manager for 3 plays
FCCLA (officer)
FBLA
Key Club (officer)
Scholar Bowl
Science Olympiad
NHS
Art Club
I worked 20 hours a week at a fast food place, then one of those phone survey places, then Dollar General.
I graduated a semester early.

[lovespink88]

Wow, I feel completely worthless compared to many of you...

Softball - 4 years, one year as captain
Golf - 3 years, two years as captain
GAA Intramurals
Spanish Club - 3 years
Social Dance Club - 3 years, one year an officer

That's about it. Does being on the honor roll count?

I also worked about 10 hours a week at a marketing consulting firm, where I would type up transcripts of recorded telephone interviews. Sometimes I conducted the interviews. Fun stuff!
