Academic League

Students on Helix's Academic League team compete in quiz-bowl style matches against teams from other schools, answering questions about a wide variety of academic topics, from mythology to biology to current events. On both the JV (grades 9 and 10) and Varsity (grades 11 and 12) teams, players compete on teams of five, buzzing in to answer both individual and team questions which showcase the depth and breadth of students' knowledge. As the home of "academic athletes" Varsity players earn letters for this academic sport.

Meeting Details:

Practice is on Monday and Tuesday in the library from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Competitions are on Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Scottie Restore (Peer Facilitated Restorative Justice Circles)

Scottie Restore is a club that educates and trains up student leaders to facilitate restorative circles for their peers. Restorative circles are designed to be a conversation between facilitators and responsible youth, in which youth can tell their story and take accountability for their actions. Instead of being assigned to detention, students have the choice to come to our peer-led circles and discuss issues they are having. Peer leaders will gain communication skills, leadership experience, community service hours and of course have fun!

Meeting Details:

Tuesdays at lunch, location TBA

After School Circles: Tuesdays from 3:30-4:40 (students do not have to commit to every after-school session)
