SES Student Organizations and Clubs
At SES we have students coming together from across District 196, and from outside the district, to learn in a unique way. One of the best ways to meet and connect with new people is through common interests and at SES we have a variety of organizations and clubs to help students do just that! Many of our student organizations/clubs are offered every year and have a faculty advisor that is present at all meetings and events. However, we also have numerous student-led clubs that vary based on the interests of our current SES community, each does have a faculty advisor, but that advisor is not present at meetings and events.
We encourage SES students to read through the descriptions below and to complete the Student Organizations/Clubs Interest Form to share with us what parts of the SES community they have interest in joining.
FFA
FFA has something for everyone. This leadership organization is based in agriculture. It includes areas of environmental, plant, animal, and food sciences. Some topic examples include fish and wildlife management, veterinary science, horse judging, forestry, service projects, competitive events, public outreach, scholarships, and more.

Student-Led Clubs
At SES, we have a large number of student led clubs that are both created and led by students. These clubs vary from year to year, based on their interests and passions of our current students. One thing they all have in common is inclusivity and FUN! Here are just a few:
- Book Club - read and discuss books of all different genres
- Dungeons & Dragons - gather after school to play D & D
- Eat Club - meet up a various restaurants to experience different foods
- Magic - gather after school play Magic the Gathering
- Poetry Club - come together to read and write poetry
While there is an advisor for each of these clubs, please understand the advisor's role is to provide guidance and to be aware of the club's plans, but they are often NOT present for meetings and outings as these clubs are STUDENT LED.
