The A Capella Club works to create an inclusive environment for high school students to sing and have fun together. Through alto and soprano voices, the A Capella Club sings, “a lot of oldies” according to club co-leader Grace La Belle.
“I think because music was such an important part of my life I wanted to take that next step by doing A Capella Club,” Grace said.

The Artsy Vibes Collective, founded by Sahana Agarwal, is focused on creating a space for students to come together and create art.
Sahana said she named the club a collective because it emphasized the collaborative nature of the club and making art with friends. Sahana hopes it will be a safe space where people feel welcome to hang out, relax and create.
