The French Club had 100 students attend its first meeting this year.

The Warhammer Club has doubled their number of players.

The PERIOD Club delivered 60 boxes of period products to FUHS classrooms.

These are just a few examples of the growing participation in campus clubs this year. From gardening to helping shelter dogs, Fullerton High School offers an array of clubs for students to explore interests.

The robust club activities might be because students have a 35-minute lunch compared to last year’s 30-minute lunch. Plus, the lift on mask mandates means students can eat and interact with other students during club meetings, too.

Senior ASB commissioner of clubs Lillian Kelly plans to focus on helping each club grow. “This year I plan to increase the number of check-ins with clubs to better support them and answer their questions about fundraising, money allocation, and other club related activities,” Kelly said. “I also plan to feature a club every so often on the ASB social media pages.”

The Tribe Tribune staff also hopes to feature clubs as frequently as possible. To get started, here is a list of groups students can join.
