Affinity Groups

Interest Groups

These optional groups meet roughly once a month in two shifts so that students are able to participate in more than one affinity group. Affinity Groups meet either during Community Time adjacent to an abbreviated US Meeting or Advisory Check-In or during a 70-minute Cross-Divisional period. In the second semester, there will be an increase in Affinity Group time.
