Service Projects Abroad Service Projects Abroad is a club at Mariemont High School that allows students to travel, learn about different places of the world, and support our community together. At meetings, about once a month, students of all grades will work together to fundraise for the ultimate goal of taking a service trip abroad their junior year. Activities include participating in the Kiwanis Art Fair in September, Holiday Fair, and other events created by the club. Along with fundraising students volunteer throughout the city together. We work with local nonprofits to better our own community by volunteering with Madisonville Education and Assistance Center, Ronald McDonald House, and Matthew 25 Ministries. Finally, Service Projects Abroad gives students a chance to take a service trip through EF Tours with their peer’s junior year. Destinations as of now are Nicaragua and Ecuador, with a choice of a total 7 countries to choose from. Service Projects Abroad is an amazing way for you to get involved in the high school, meet and work with other students of similar interests, and take an amazing trip dedicated to foreign volunteer efforts and service learning.
Showstoppers Showstoppers is a pop a cappella group, meaning all of the accompaniment is vocal! Using vocal percussion and a variety of vocal harmonies, voices only recreate the sounds of our favorite current pop songs. Each year we perform a variety of modern pieces, arranged by either a student(s), Mrs. McGahey, or another a cappella group, at the school concerts and community events. Showstoppers meets every Tuesday after school and on Thursday mornings. If you love to sing and perform, then Showstoppers might be the perfect fit for you! Showstoppers is a select group and interested students must perform an audition for Mrs. McGahey at the beginning of the year. Students must display a strong, pop vocal style of singing, be able to hold their own vocal part independently, and sight read. Participants should have experience in vocal music performance, such as participation in the Jr. High or High School choir, or private instruction. 27
