Are you looking for a way to get involved with your school community? Are you looking for a way to meet new people with similar interests to you? Or are you looking for a way to freely express yourself creatively? THS has a wide variety of opportunities for the many unique personalities that the THS students represent. Terryville High School has twenty-two clubs open and available to all students- if you are interested in any clubs here, ask any teacher within the school to hear about your options. The clubs at Terryville High School open doors for students and their futures as they create new relationships, discover or enrich an undiscovered skill, and create a better, more positive atmosphere for our school!
Here are a few featured club options:
Yearbook Club:
Meetings: Mondays after school
Room: 216

What is the club about:
Yearbook is a great way to meet new friends and express yourself creatively, and each student’s contribution to the yearbook can be seen come to fruition when the yearbook arrives in June! After being trained in how to use the Jostens Yearbook Program, students have the opportunity to design a yearbook spread that they can work on both at our weekly meetings or at home. In addition to designing pages, throughout the course of the year students also help out with various other yearbook-related tasks, including selling yearbooks, photography, working on promotions, and eventually yearbook distribution.There is a place for everyone on the yearbook staff, whether one is interested in drawing, designing, writing, photography, or public relations. Although editors are usually Seniors, students of all grade levels are encouraged to join and given a role in designing the yearbook and helping to make it successful!
