Clubs

ASTRONOMY CLUB

The Astronomy Club exists to inspire and grow students’ knowledge and passion for astronomy. Through a hands-on approach, students will become “backyard astronomers,” learning the art and skill of stargazing. Our goal is to reveal that God is the Creator and Sustainer of a vast, dynamic, and awe-inspiring—yet accessible—universe.

Students will explore deep-sky objects such as galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae, as well as solar system objects including planets, moons, and comets. Along the way, they will develop essential astronomy skills such as reading star charts, operating telescopes and other stargazing equipment, learning to sketch celestial objects at the eyepiece, and using imaging equipment to capture their own photographs of the night sky.

Each month, members can travel to our dark-sky observatory to observe the night sky using a 16" or 24" Dobsonian telescope, handheld binoculars, and personalized astrophotography smart telescopes, where they can select and image celestial objects of their choice. Students can also participate in various citizen science projects, work toward astronomy-specific achievement goals, attend student-led astronomy presentations, and compete in “Best Sketch” and “Best Image” contests. Register here

WARRIOR SERVANT LEADERSHIP

The Warrior Servant Leadership Program is more than an opportunity for high school students to serve, but an attitude and commitment for the community of administrative staff, teachers, support staff, and students of Metrolina to follow the commands of the scripture and the model of Christ seen in Matthew 20:26-28. The WSL Program creates more opportunities for service and leadership to cultivate a lifestyle of service. Joining the WSL Program must begin in the 9th or 10th grade. Any student interested in the program must submit the application as well as meet the required hours through volunteer service.

Students who faithfully complete the WSL Program will receive recognition at graduation as well as qualify for the WSL Scholarship. Service hour requirements and membership eligibility policies are detailed here. Meeting Dates (Tentative): November 4th, January 13th, March 3rd, May 5th. *Applications are now closed.
