Clubs

Animal Rescue Club

We support animal shelters and rescues in the area and provide education to our student body about care and protection.

French Club

La Société Française gives students the opportunity to explore and experience aspects of francophone cultures outside of the classroom. Some of their favorite activities include French movie days, celebrating special holidays, and sampling foods from various French-speaking countries. Taking in theater productions such as “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables” have also been highlights. This group also supports a teenager through Compassion International, a Christian aid organization.

Global Awareness Club

Global Awareness Club is a group based on service to the community, nation, and world. We base the mission of our club on Mark 12:30-31, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. Our main goal is to love God and to love people. We accomplish this by serving others in need both locally in our community and internationally by organizing events and fundraisers in an effort to raise awareness and monetary funds to address important global issues.

Journalism

Journalism Club maintains a digital newspaper with weekly and month issues.

Key Club

Key Club, established in 1925, is the oldest and largest service program especially for high school students. Its success is tied to the fact that it is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through serving others. Members of the Kiwanis International family, Key Club members build themselves as they build their schools and communities while living the motto “Caring – Our Way of Life.” In the process, they become more aware of community needs as they develop their own skills, especially in relating well to others. The VLHS Key Club was established in September 2006.

The Law Day – Mock Trial competition is held in conjunction with the Law Day celebrations sponsored by the Saginaw County Bar Association. Students serving as lawyers, witnesses or jury members are “coached” by an active member of the County Bar Association.
