    However, this class is by application only. The application process generally begins in late February after students have selected their classes. All students selected for this class must be active members of a local Christian church as well as willing to openly give a statement of their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior on their application.

Students leading these initiatives work together with the HS Student Leadership Charity Chair and are mentored by the Director of Student Life. In a continuing effort to encourage strong values of philanthropy and community involvement among a wider group of students, a committee of student representatives from each school will be appointed and selected each academic year that will receive school-wide support. Both schools (MS & HS) will support the same charity, unless otherwise indicated.

    If a student has an interest in being a committee member and host a charity drive, the student must complete an application, make presentations to the MS & HS student selection committee, and be appointed. Applications for consideration will be received for a 1-month period and presentations by students are made to the selection committee in April or May to be appointed for the following school years Charitable Giving Plan.

    • Students may utilize the teacher/advisor in charge for occasional help on homework assignments. That being said, the teacher/advisor is there to help ALL students. So, there should not be an expectation that the teacher/advisor will assist students with the completion of an entire assignment, question by question.
    • Students may be asked to leave Homework Club if they are: 
      • talking or speaking with other students without permission, 
      • creating any type of distraction

  • Model UN

    What is Model United Nations?
    Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the actual United Nations. The FLHS MUN Team provides students the opportunity to learn about and debate global issues, improve their critical thinking and public speaking skills, better understand and practice diplomacy, all while simulating the committees, debates, and activities of the real United Nations.
     
    What does a Model United Nations student do?
    The FLHS MUN Team prepares for and attends MUN Conferences throughout the United States and internationally. At the conferences, the students act as delegates of their assigned country or historical figure and sit on simulated United Nations Committees to debate and resolve current international issues. To prepare for the conferences, students actively research, debate, problem-solve, and write proposals on world issues during practices.
     
    How will Model United Nations benefit me?
    The skills developed during MUN help the students prepare for college and careers. The students will gain unprecedented knowledge of world affairs. Public speaking, research, writing, critical thinking, problem-solving, diplomatic, and leadership skills are all things heavily recruited by premier colleges and universities. MUN can make students stand out to colleges and scholarship committees. The MUN experience also promotes cultural diversity and a deeper understanding of our interconnected, global society. The MUN Team is part of the FLHS Justice and Advocacy program and satisfies the J & A extracurricular requirement.
     
    When does the Model United Nations Team meet?
    The MUN Team meets every Thursday from 6:00-7:30 and occasionally on the three Mondays before competition from 6:00-7:30. All practices are held in the Library.
     
    Are there any requirements to be a Model United Nations team member?
    Students must be academically in good standing at FLHS, attend a minimum of 2/3’s of the practices, and attend at least two conferences per year. Additionally, students must prepare and submit a position paper (3-5 pages) before each conference they attend.

  • Programming Club

    Currently seeking Student Leaders & inactive.

    DESCRIPTION:
    This club offers its members the chance to sharpen their programming skills through lessons and enjoyable programming projects beyond what is offered within courses at FLHS. Students will learn advanced programming techniques and concepts, along with the chance to apply these concepts to programming projects both individually and in a group setting. Through consistent attendance at the club, members will build an exemplary programming resume, an item vital to compete in today’s job settings.


    EXPECTATIONS:
    Members of the club will be expected to attend weekly meetings on Tuesdays after school. The vast majority of the meetings will be lessons, educating members on programming languages. Units will be structured, each lasting several weeks, with the purpose of educating students on how to program in different languages. Although a handful of meetings will also be dedicated to working on programming projects to put these lessons into real-world practice.
    Occasionally, there will be programming competitions between the members, designed to simulate a job setting, in which members will write code following specific guidelines. Most of the meetings will not entail any outside work, but when a new project is introduced during a meeting the members will be highly encouraged to work on the project outside of the club to not fall behind other members, but outside work is not vital to participation in the club. A key factor within several STEM fields is, however, a strong emphasis on collaboration.


    STRUCTURE:
    The club will be structured as the following:
    • Throughout the year, the club will move through units, each designed to educate students on a particular programming language (including syntax, background, application, etc).
    • Units in the second semester may also be based around specific packages, or programming techniques to hone in on topics such as AI, and game development.
    • Each meeting, the club will close with a programming “challenge”. In reference to technical interviews, in which candidates are usually tasked with solving an issue through constructing a piece of code, students will be challenged to come up with a solution by the next meeting, and such solutions will be discussed at the beginning of each meeting.

    GOALS/PURPOSE:
    The club has five major goals.

    1. Bringing together students that are passionate about programming.
    2. Providing the opportunity for students to learn from one another.
    3. Sharpening the programming skills of FLHS.
    4. Brining computer science concepts beyond basic FLHS courses to students.
    5. Building a programming resume/portfolio for the future, especially within the information age, learning a new skill can be challenging. Programming is no exception, as there are hundreds if not thousands of web pages, tutorials, and online classes dedicated to teaching kids code, each with their own varied approach. Although from students who have several years of experience within a variety of programming based concepts, programming club offers students the chance to truly learn how to code in practically any language.

  • Trial By Peers - Faith Unit

    DESCRIPTION:
    The Clark County Law Foundation's Trial By Peers (TBP) program is an innovative diversion program used as an alternative for first and some second time juvenile offenders. This program gives juveniles hands-on experience within the legal system and allows youth charged with misdemeanors to be tried, represented, and sentenced by their peers - other teens.

    Youth have the opportunity to participate in TBP in three primary areas of the program: as a defendant, a peer counselor or a juror. Defendants are prosecuted, defended by teen counselors, and tried in front of a jury of their peers. Teen juries determine the guilt or innocence and if applicable, impose a sentence. If the defendant completes the sentence accordingly, then his record will only reflect a referral to the peer court. Sentences may include jury duty, community services, letters of apology, and personal development classes.

    This information was retrieved from:  Clark County Law Foundation, Trial by Peers

    Below is the link that will take you to the Trial by Peers Summer Interest Form for 2024. This form will put you on the list to receive the application to the program.  Applications are generally distributed in March or April for the following summer program.  Once a student has completed the training program, they are able to serve until they graduate from high school.

  • VEX Robotics Club HS

    DESCRIPTION:
    Students will work in teams to build robotics designed and programmed to compete in Robotics Education & Competition Foundation designed games. Through its uniquely engaging combination of teamwork, problem solving, and scientific discovery, the study of competitive robotics encompasses aspects of STEM. Students are not building VEX robots because their job will involve tightening shaft collars on a metal bar - they are executing an engineering design and problem-solving process that resembles the mindset used by professionals around the world. 

    EXPECTATIONS:
    Members are expected to be able to maintain and meet robotics lab expectations. Students are expected to learn the basics of robotics and general principles of engineering through their work. Students are expected to regularly attend meetings and communicate openly with their group members. Members are also expected to be available to attend at least 2 competitions throughout the year. Dates and times of those will be communicated to members when scheduled.

    GOALS/PURPOSE:
    VEX Robotics Club exists to increase interest and opportunities for students in the STEM fields through building competitive robotics. 

    LOCATION & TIME OF MEETINGS:
    Tuesday-Thursday 2:40pm- 4:00pm, additional meeting times as arranged by Faculty Advisor.

    • A high level of “social interest” –This is indicated by a positive attitude, optimism, genuine desire to be helpful, and empathy.

    • Special skills– Although this club does not require an initial set of special skills, special skills are appreciated in art, design, writing, and photography.  If the mentor does not have a skillset he/ she must be willing to develop one.

    Our club’s purpose is to provide growth and learning opportunities for both mentors and Middle School mentees working on a common goal, the Middle School Yearbook.
