What are some prestigious high school clubs?

Hey guys! I am planning on joining a couple of clubs in school next year, and I'm curious to know which ones are considered prestigious. Any ideas?

Sure! A club's prestige largely comes from its level of competitiveness or reputation. Here are a few clubs that are often seen as prestigious due to their competitive nature, national or international presence, and opportunities for leadership:

1. Debate Club/Mock Trial: These clubs sometimes compete at the national level and develop great critical thinking and speaking skills. Leadership roles are highly valued in them too.

2. Model United Nations (MUN): High school MUN conferences are held globally, bringing students together to solve world issues. Outstanding Delegate or other award wins are often seen as impressive by colleges.

3. Science Olympiad/Robotics clubs: These clubs often participate in regional, state, and national competitions. They're excellent choices if you're interested in STEM.

4. Student Government: This club offers clear leadership roles and opportunities to make noticeable changes in your school community.

5. National Honor Society (NHS): While being a member isn't necessarily prestigious, holding a leadership position in NHS can show commitment and leadership.

Remember, while these clubs are recognized nationwide, it's also important to commit to clubs related to your interests and potential major. Plus, consistency and depth of involvement are more important than the name of the club itself. Start a club if your school lacks one that matches your interests. Founding a club can be an opportunity to demonstrate initiative, leadership, and passion.
