Upcoming Schedule 🗓️

As a reminder, next week, September 21st, is a student holiday while staff have professional development which will result in the Wednesday Rainbow schedule being dropped for the week.

🎲 Club Fair

We held our annual club fair on Tuesday, where students poured through the halls of Energy to find their new favorite organizations. There were a whopping 47 clubs present, ranging from Aerospace Club to Women in STEM (no XYZ, but everything in between!). Click here for an updated (and in progress) list of our campus clubs and organizations, as well as our club sponsors and their email addresses, and reach out to nicholas.champion@houstonisd.org with any club questions.

Just days after club fair and our clubs are already getting to work! On Wednesday, we held our first Club Clean-Up, with the Recycling Club helping clean the cafeteria during lunch and earning their first round of club funds in return. We also had a mariachi singer join us during lunch thanks to a collaboration from the Spanish Honor Society. A great example of students making an impact on our campus while supporting their organization!
