Below is a list of clubs, beginning with K-Z, offered at Anderson. There is definitely something for everyone!! If students have any questions about a Club, they should contact the Club Sponsor or main contact listed. Club meetings are announced to the student body during morning announcements or you can obtain a list of meeting dates from the Sponsor. Club meeting dates may not be listed on the PTSA website calendar because the dates change regularly. They will be listed in the TrojanTimes when we know specific dates, but students should always refer to the morning announcements and the Sponsors’ information for exact dates.
We hope this helps you in your search to be involved at Anderson High School!!
Key Club
SPONSOR: Carey Dukes
3rd week of the month, 4:15-5:15, Cafeteria.

The members of this service organization participate in various activities such as Raise the Roof, Habitat for Humanity, The Children's Hospital, etc. There is no point system for membership. The volunteer experience is what members gain from participating in projects. Volunteer for the good of it! Members who want to attend the super-fun closure activity at the end of the year, must attend at least 5 general Key Club meetings and at least 6 service projects. Key Club is affiliated with Key Club International and Kiwanis International. Every other Monday, Room 330. You don't have to know how to knit in order to be in this club and yes, boys can join too. It is a place to have fun and hang out after school with friends, and as a plus, you'll be helping the less fortunate. Visit the Knitting Club's web site at http://www.freewebs.com/knittingandneedy!
