Whether it’s doing sports, acting, singing ,volunteering or helping the community there are so many different ways to serve or be a part of the AHN family as well as showing your talents. All these individual co-curricular actives we have here help in developing our classmates and sisters into becoming good leaders, responsible and caring young women. Senior Rebecca Castellano was the one who started the club Best Buddies here at Academy it is so inspirational and such a heart touching club to get involved in. She mentions starting the club because, “I think it’s something important to bring to Academy and make sure girls are aware for this foundation before they go to college.”

When choosing a club it is best to make sure it is based on your personality, talents, and what things interest you the most. You don’t want to pick a club just to pick it because your friends joined. Instead, make sure you know what the clubs are all about. Seniors Lily Oliva and Natalie Cevallos talk about how much they enjoyed March for Life sponsored by the Respect for Life club. It is a March that helps defend the lives of unborn babies. Senior Lily Oliva says, “not only was it a great bonding experience but it was also great way to protest for something we all feel strongly about.”
