here are plenty of ways to get involved at the high school. Granville High School takes much pride in the opportunities students have to join clubs they are interested in. There are clubs for all interests and passions. Read this guide to learn more about some of the coolest clubs offered at the school.
ASTRONOMY CLUB
CROCHET CLUB
PRESIDENT: Sarah Ghiassi ADVISER: Mrs. Fortner MEETINGS: Wednesdays After School Crochet Club started this year because there was interest from former students. Crochet is a craft in which yarn is made up into a patterned fabric by looping yarn with a hooked needle. English teacher Noel Fortner, a crochet enthusiast, is the adviser of the club.“I started my interest in crocheting during the COVID lockdown and have quickly become obsessed with it,” Fortner said. They meet every Wednesday in the library from 2:45-3:45 where they have crafting time and snacks. There are about 42 members in the club and most of them are new to crocheting. “I recommend Crochet Club to students because it has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety,” Fortner said. The repetition of crocheting is proven to help boost seratonin as well.

PRESIDENT: Carly Mayer ADVISER: Mr. Bait MEETINGS: Once a month at Intermediate School Astronomy club started last year with the intent for students to learn about different objects in the sky and apply them to the observations. “The main goal of the club is to help people gain knowledge of what’s going on in such a large part of the universe,” senior Carly Mayer said. Her role as president is to work with Physics and Astronomy teacher Mike Bait to bring in speakers to teach and help the students. She also plans observations at the intermediate school once or twice a month. They hope to have more educational speaker meetings in Bait’s room this year. “I started it because my dad always used to take me to look at the night sky, so stars and constellations mean a lot to me,” Mayer said.
