Collegiate Academy weekly clubs meet the last period of the day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
The Podcast Club
Sponsor: Mrs.Knutz
Email:
[email protected]
Meet: Wednesday
Purpose:
When we started the Podcast Club, we wanted a platform for students to
express their ideas and for others to listen and be a part of the
conversation. We want to be known as a club by the students, for the
students. We have fun and educational topics, and are always open to
suggestions! Soon we will also be able to go to the TCC campus and
record in their studio! All members have the opportunity to host on the
podcast. There are jobs from editing and writing the script to posting
on our Instagram and making graphics. You’re welcome to do anything, and
we know you will have fun
Student Ambassadors
Sponsor:Riley Cavanagh
Meets: Tuesdays
Purpose: When
you all made the decision to come to Collegiate Academy it was likely
influenced in one way or another by the student ambassadors that came to
your school and tried to sell you on the Collegiate Academy experience.
They aren’t limited to going to middle schools, but instead also have a
program setup with elementary schools in which they mentor 5th graders,
and are the students that we call upon to meet with visitors to our
school. If you’re the kind of person that can sell ice to an eskimo and
wants to help other people share in the amazing opportunity you’ve been
given at Collegiate Academy then this is the club for you!

pictures of your friends end up in the yearbook to accompany those
awards. If you’re someone that is only a couple million Instagram
followers away from internet stardom and who loves to put filters on any
and every picture you’ve ever taken then this is the club for you!
Sponsor:Ethan Lingren
Meets: Tuesdays 6th period
Purpose: Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and remains a symbol of intelligence and tactical thinking today, it is also really fun! Come learn to play or play better at our CA Chess Club!
Sponsor: Benjamin Schubert
Meets: Tuesdays 6th period
Purpose: Computer club is dedicated to the learning of technology in fun and
engaging ways. We split up our meetings into software and hardware
dedicated days. In terms of software, we have been focusing on learning
Python and Linux using tools such as our Raspberry Pis, virtual
machines, and IDEs. During hardware dedicated meetings we study the
various components that allow a computer to operate, such as RAM,
storage, CPUs, and motherboards. To do this, we have computers that we
take apart and reassemble. Moreover, the club emphasizes the importance
of certifications. Currently, we are working towards our members to
receive the CompTIA A+ certificate. This entry level IT certification
will open up the door to the realm of computer related jobs such as a PC
technician. We are excited for the coming years, and can't wait to see
what our members go on to achieve in the world of computers!
