Collegiate Academy weekly clubs meet the last period of the day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
The Podcast Club
Sponsor: Mrs.Knutz
Email:
bobbe.knutz@gcisd.net
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
Email: riley.cavanagh@gcsid.net
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!
