Mayde Creek High School in Houston 

Schulbeginn: 25. 8.14
2.841 Schüler
Motto: RAM Pride

Hab was neues über meine Highschool entdeckt!!

Auf der Hompage habe ich die Liste von allen "clubs, organisations & activities" gefunden. Ist zwar die Liste vom Schuljahr 2013/14 aber ich denke mal, dass sich für das nächste Jahr nicht so viel ändern wird.

Es gibt auch hier viel zu viel Auswahl...:D 

Aber ich finde, dass RAM Riders, H.O.S.A. und Photography ziemlich interessant klingen (für mich jedenfalls...)
