Mandarin High Clubs

At Mandarin High School education does not end with the classes. Clubs provide the students with social interaction beyond school with people of similar interests. These extra-curricular activities at Mandarin High School support the foundation of student interaction and allow people to volunteer to learn, help, and be a useful part of their community and society. In other words, clubs are totally cool.

Featured Club

Chess Club

The chess club offers students the chance to enhance their skills at the game.  The chess club also encourages the enjoyment of the wonderful game.  Students learn to appreciate a game that has been around for hundreds of years.  Meetings are every Monday after school in the media center.  The meetings last from 2:20 to 3:30.  For any questions see Mrs. Raley in the Media Center.
