Culture Club

Sponsor: Michelle Bernardi

Culture Club enriches student's experiences through trips to a wide variety of "cultural" events. The goal of the club is to go to larger cities outside of the small community to "see what's out there!" Since our towns lack venues for concerts, professional sporting events, Broadway plays, and museums, it is important that students have the opportunity to attend cultural events! After all, how do you know if you like or dislike the ballet, for instance, if you have never been to a performance?

What is the Oak Glen High School Culture Club? Learning does not take place only in the classroom. One of the best teachers is life’s experience, and students will always remember what they have done and where they have gone far longer than what they hear in the classroom. Culture Club is an extension of the learning experience and helps to develop a well-rounded individual through “cultural” experiences. Members will attend performances and venues at a discounted cost due to member fundraising efforts.

The Culture Club is vital to the high school. It is an outstanding extra resource for learning and developing a well-rounded individual prepared for life and further academic pursuits!
