The start of a new school year means new opportunities for students to join the many different organizations that Marlow High School has to offer.  

These clubs give students the opportunity to attend after school events while still supporting their fellow classmates.

One club that allows students to support their community and become better leaders is the MHS Blue Crew.

The Blue Crew, advised by algebra two teacher Karin Brantley, works to spread the word of upcoming events, inform people of dress-up days, show up to support school sports and spread school spirit.

Senior Lauren Ivory joined the Blue Crew her junior year and feels that this club has helped to impact the students of Marlow. “Blue Crew has helped me to branch out and made me meet people that I would never normally talk to,” Lauren expressed. “Their enthusiasm about sporting events excites me.”

Another way for students to get involved athletically is through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) program.

The FCA program at Marlow is advised by Julie McCauley and meets during lunch on Wednesdays to discuss any upcoming events.

Outside of athletics, students can also get involved through the different clubs the school has to offer.

One of the clubs that is currently taking sign-ups is the Academic Team sponsored by junior English teacher, Beverly Cramton.  The team meets on Wednesdays during lunch and attends a minimum of two academic meets.

A less competitive club that students can partake in is the MHS Library Club, advised by middle and high school librarian Cathy Hazel.

The Library Club meets monthly during lunch and has two main goals every year: to record a music video and visit the elementary school to read stories to younger students.

Junior Brianna Dalrymple joined Library Club her sophomore year and plans to return her junior year.

“This year, I hope the Library Club gets to read to the elementary kids again,” Dalrymple stated.

While the Library Club makes its impact through communicating with younger grades, a newer club called the Youth Action for Health Leadership  (YAHL) advocates for changes to be made to the entire school district and community.

This organization has two campaigns that it works towards, Elevate Student Health and Counteract Tobacco.

YAHL’s advisor at Marlow is Family and Consumer Science teacher Tamra May.

May will host a site visit on Oct. 25 to spread more information on their goals and have the training on a later date. 

MHS has provided a huge array of organizations for students to get involved in where they can show school spirit and support their fellow classmates.school.
