Student Clubs & Activities

Student clubs and activities are a wonderful way for you to get to know others with like-minded interests. These also provide a unique opportunity to experience something new, develop a skill, serve others, and most importantly, just have fun.

Activities and Clubs

Maur Hill - Mount Academy students may participate in one or many of the following:

Broadcasting Club

All home sporting events are broadcasted on the Maur Hill - Mount Academy Athletics and Activities Facebook page. Students assist with camera footage and also broadcasting for most games.

Business Club

Students collaborate on business ideas in order to make money for a sustainable business. Students use the base outline to turn the "hideout" on campus into a fun hangout spot for all students! The business club creates a marketing plan and hosts many fun evenings in the revamped hideout.

Forensics

Competitive speech team. Events include persuasive and informative speaking, individual and duet acting, storytelling, and debate activities. Forensics is a team-sponsored activity. The season starts in January with national championships in early May.

National Honor Society

NHS is a nationwide organization for high school students in the U.S. and outlying territories and consists of many chapters in high schools. Selection is based on four criteria: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Students apply for NHS going into their junior year. Additional community service requirements are expected of students.

Scholars Bowl

An academic competition in which teams compete to answer questions in the areas of foreign language, English, history, science, math, fine arts, and current events. Unlike random trivia, Scholars' Bowl covers content from all four years of high school and is a great way to sharpen your recall and keep knowledge fresh.
