The NCHS Club Fair will be held this Friday, September 23rd. Each year, students are given the opportunity to preview the clubs offered at our school. “It’s an opportunity for kids to get a sense of all the co-curricular activities we offer and to meet with a couple of kids to see if the club is something they might enjoy,” said Club Fair Director Ari Rothman. New clubs are constantly being offered in order to cover a wide range of student interests. “The clubs are always evolving,” Mr. Rothman said. “About half the clubs are new this year because interests change and we try to accommodate that.” Below is a preview of a few of the clubs that will be showcased this Friday.
