Clubs and Organizations
Within our community, there are opportunities for students to create authentic relationships in enjoyable and energetic environments where they feel that they truly belong. With a variety of activities and clubs offered, students are encouraged to find a place to connect. Below is a brief description of the clubs, organizations, and activities that students of all ages can be involved in.
All Ages
Chess Club
Chess Club is for all grades and club meeting times are set up to not conflict with classes, athletics, and other activities depending on schedules of students who want to come. At meetings, students play regular chess and some variants such as team (Bughouse), four player chess, and Omega Chess. For students who want to play in tournaments (optional) some attend outside contests held at area schools about once a month. The elementary club meets on Tuesdays from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. For more information, contact Jenny Fruge (elementary) at jennyfruge@yahoo.com.
Robotics
Robotics is open to all ages with flexible meeting times and locations designed to accommodate classes, athletics, and other activities. Younger students explore concepts and concentrate on building, creating, and getting hands-on experience working as a team. Older students participate in the FIRST® Tech Challenge, with the season starting in September and continuing through the spring semester. The team competes in four official regional meets, with the opportunity to advance to the state finals. They also participate in scrimmages hosted by various schools across the region and attend industry field trips during the season. Elementary meetings are held on Thursdays from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. Secondary meetings are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. For more information, contact Joshua Faulkner (elementary) at joshuaf16@gmail.com or Christopher Hayden (secondary) at chrishayden@mac.com.
Elementary
Bible Club
Bible Club is a fun, fast-paced club for third through sixth grade students to play games while memorizing scripture. Time flies as students use auditory, written, and kinesthetic tools to memorize, and have fun with friendly competition. Bible Club meets every week. For information, contact Vanessa Nelson at admin@cnelson.me.
LIGHT - Leaders Inspiring Godly Habits Together
Sixth grade students have the opportunity to apply and become a member of LIGHT where they participate in service projects both within the walls of Logos Prep and out in the community. For more information, contact Leah Rabb at leah.rabb@logosprep.org.
Junior High
CREW (Christians Ready Equipped and Willing) 1 Tim. 3:16-17
CREW is a leadership organization for current seventh and eighth graders that desire to cultivate and develop leadership skills through various service opportunities- both internal for the community of Logos Prep and external for the local and international community. Opportunities include, but are not limited to: leading Bible studies in junior high, assisting in parent information meetings, organizing Christmas toy drives, and collecting supplies for partner schools outside the U.S. CREW meets once a month for leadership training and to discuss current volunteer opportunities. Applications are accepted in the spring for the following school year. For more information, contact Wendy Parry at wendy.parry@logosprep.org.
House System
The Junior High House System will give students an opportunity to build community, leadership, and positivity among our students. Our six houses represent our Logos Prep core values: Oikos (Family), Koinonia (Community), Mathetes (Discipleship), Fides (Faith), Integritas (Integrity), and Arete (Excellence). The house system is part of our discipleship time and is required for each student.
Each month, house leaders will attend a training session and every house will meet as a group for team building and discipleship time. Monthly house games will also take place. Teachers and staff will be able to consistently award house points as they witness instances of godly character and success in competition.
Students will be assigned a house upon entering middle school. There will not be a legacy, so students may not be in the same house as a sibling. Houses will be for the duration of middle school, and are unrelated to the High School House System. It is our goal to see our students grow in community as they encourage each other toward godly character and feel they are an integral part of the Logos Prep school community and culture. For more information, contact Wendy Parry at wendy.parry@logosprep.org.
Secondary Retreat
Taking place on the second weekend of the school year, Secondary Retreat is an amazing opportunity for students to go away for a weekend and get to know each other. For new students, this retreat serves as a fun way to get plugged in and to start growing those peer relationships that will help guide their years at Logos Prep.
Students worship, participate in Bible studies, and compete with Logos Prep teachers, coaches and administrators throughout the weekend. These activities and connections are part of the initiatives of the Discipleship core value. For more information, contact Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
High School
AV/Broadcasting Club
The AV/Broadcasting Club is for high school students who are in charge of live broadcasting school athletic and special events. They will be involved in all aspects of broadcasting including filming, graphic creation and overlay, play by play and color commentating, live streaming from location, conducting live interviews, and updating live scores. This is a fun club that will help develop skills to enhance college applications and lead to jobs. For more information, contact Chris Sedgwick at chris.sedgwick@logosprep.org.
Canvas Club
The idea of the Canvas Club is to inspire and recognize high school students who have shown an outstanding ability or an interest in art. The Canvas Club strives to aid members in attaining the highest standards in art scholarship, character, and service, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community. Canvas Club allows all students with an interest in art to join. Students do not need to be enrolled in an art class to join. All students are encouraged to apply as the group participates in school-wide projects, assists other organizations, and represents the school at art competitions such as TAPPS, HLSR School Art, and others. Membership dues for the Canvas Club will be $15 per year. For more information, contact Keren Webb at keren.webb@logosprep.org.
C2 (Connecting Together)
C2 is for high school students and is a time when students can connect with a group of teenagers who are earnestly seeking to make Logos Prep a better place. The group gathers weekly to spend time with one another, play games, enjoy food and hear inspirational speakers in a warm and welcoming environment. Throughout the year, students will spend time preparing and equipping themselves to represent Christ at Logos Prep and beyond. It meets most Monday evenings at a student’s home from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Over 60% of LP high school students attend C2. For more information, contact Koen Harms at koen.harms@logosprep.org or Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
Go! DR - Makarios - Dominican Republic
Each summer, after graduation, high school students have an opportunity to GO! A student group travels to the Dominican Republic to serve the Dominican people through Makarios, a partner school for over 10 years. This is a great opportunity for priceless, hands-on service and ministry. Through these experiences, students develop a broader perspective of the world and an increased cross-cultural understanding. Every student that attends this trip will gain the opportunity to understand the world’s needs and to use their individual gifts and talents to share the Gospel of Christ. These trips are designed to ignite the hearts and minds of our students to change the world. For more information, contact Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
House System
The High School House System consists of six houses, each of which contains an equal distribution of every Logos Prep high school student. The house names are taken from the Tribes of Israel. These names not only speak to our heritage as followers of Christ, but also to the fact that our school community is one big family. Each house crest displays items that speak to the desire to prepare students to make an impact for Christ as they fight against the attacks of the evil one.
In contrast to junior high houses, students in the same family will be placed in the same house. For example, since John Smith is placed in the House of Levi, all of his brothers and sisters are officially future members of the House of Levi. The house system has an on-going competition within the school that builds community, increases leadership opportunities, breaks down cliques, provides every student an instant place of belonging, and is just plain old fun. Since houses are not grade specific, they also serve to increase the interaction between students of different grades. The goal is to create an environment where everyone feels that they belong and contribute to something bigger than themselves. The house system provides a way to grow smaller as a student community while growing larger as a school. For more information, contact Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
Multicultural Club
Logos Prep is located in one of the most diverse counties in the country so allowing our students to go through their years ignoring this is a missed opportunity. Multicultural Club is for high school students and meets monthly. The club provides an opportunity for students to learn to live for Christ in the midst of this amazing diversity represented not only in our student body, but also in our county. For more information, contact Jennifer Schaper at jennifer.schaper@logosprep.org
National Honor Society
A candidate for NHS must be considered a sophomore at Logos Prep and must have a cumulative grade point average of a 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. As a candidate, students must have been a student at Logos Prep for at least one semester. To pursue candidacy in NHS, students fill out a Student Activity Information Form, create a student resume, and submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher. Students are not selected on the basis of grade point average alone. A student must show leadership qualities among the student body at large.
Membership dues are $30 annually (subject to change yearly as per the national office requirements). Meetings are held monthly and members complete 10 hours individual community service and 5 hours as a group community service project annually. Members will have the opportunity to become officers if they choose to pursue such a course. For more information, contact Addie Delahoussaye at addie.delahoussaye@logosprep.org.
One Act Play
Students in One Act Play work as part of a team to rehearse and perform a short play for the TAPPS competitions. Whether acting on stage or helping behind the scenes, students enjoy a fun and rewarding experience that teaches confidence, teamwork, responsibility, and the excitement of live performance. No experience is needed. For more information, contact Tracey Strother at tracey.strother@logosprep.org.
SALT
SALT exists to train and disciple high school students in leadership and more importantly, the ways of Jesus. There is no application for SALT and no interview process, only a desire to submit yourself to teaching and training. SALT meets six times a year during high school lunch to work through the training curriculum with a hope of becoming more like Christ. Completing SALT is a requirement for any student wishing to hold a student leadership position in either C2 or the house system. For more information, contact Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
Secondary Retreat
Taking place on the second weekend of the school year, Secondary Retreat is an amazing opportunity for students to go away for a weekend and get to know each other. For new students, this retreat serves as a fun way to get plugged in and to start growing those peer relationships that will help guide their years at Logos Prep.
Students worship, participate in Bible studies, and compete with Logos Prep teachers, coaches and administrators throughout the weekend. These activities and connections are part of the initiatives of the Discipleship core value. For more information, contact Joel Gutowsky at joel.gutowsky@logosprep.org.
Study Abroad
The language department partners with International Studies Abroad (ISA) for a unique travel abroad program for high school students to experience immersion through host family stays and study at an accredited university for three college credits (six credits possible). For more information, contact Mabell Noel at mabell.noel@logosprep.org.
