Art Club

With Ms. New, students experience a unique exposure to a variety of artistic media and works by famous artists. During after-school and small group lunch settings, students have the opportunity to express themselves creatively and have their work displayed in a constructive peer environment.

Students can create many different types of materials and resources to supplement classroom and independent projects.

Astronomy Club

Students in the Astronomy Club learn how to use a telescope and accessories donated by Cincinnati Observatory to safely view exciting objects in the sky including the sun, moon, planets, and stars. We also plan activities that will get others interested in astronomy including creating a hallway display, making T-shirts, and hosting star parties for families and friends.

At the end of the school year, students in Astronomy Club have the opportunity to apply for their own free $500+ telescope and accessories. 

Bike Club

If you’ve ever wondered what clubs to try but don’t think they’ll be exciting, give Bike Club a shot. Bike Club is all about learning about the various parts of the bike– and in that club you will disassemble the bike and learn how to reassemble it, essentially learning how the bike works. It’s a learning experience and the ability to put a bike back together. Come learn with us! 

Bowling Club

Want to do something a little different on your weekends?  The Bowling Club might be right up your alley. 

Led by Aiken Alumni Jerry Grove, the Bowling Club meets on Saturdays between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Madison Bowl Madisonville.

ESports

Did you know that colleges are awarding scholarships for good gaming skills? Esports is a club that makes new, emerging tech available to Aiken students. 

ESports members are part of a team. Members play video games and are awarded scholarships for their skills. They will play against teams from other schools. The games include Fortnite, Volrant, Call of Duty, and others.

Journalism Club

Here we write articles about everything going on at our school. From school IDs to football games, there are countless things to write about. 

Most recently, we are working with the Cincinnati Bengals to hone our journalism craft. Their Senior Editor, Geoff Hobson, gives us the opportunities to come and interview Bengals players at community events. After interviewing players and participants, student essays are published on the Bengals Website.
