Activities

USA students learn to develop leadership and personal growth potentials and explore career options through the agricultural education provided by Future Farmers of America. Our students develop projects related to the agriculture industry and compete against other chapters from around the state and nation to develop skills in presentations, organization, research and leadership.

FCCLA stands for Family, Career, Community, Leaders of America. FCCLA is the career & technical student organization for family & consumer science education. FCCLA is more than 50 years old, beginning in 1945 as the Future Homemakers of
America and New Homemakers of America, then adding Home Economics Related Occupations, and today is known as the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, or FCCLA. FCCLA's programs provide relevant, real-world experience and unparalleled leadership opportunities to the FCS curriculum.

Our local chapter focuses mainly on community service and leadership experiences. We hold annual "Clean out your Closet" drives to find clothes for the needy, "Prom Dress Swap", which provides prom dresses to girls in need, "Teddy Bear Drive", which raises money and stuffed animals for the Michigan State Police and several other
community based projects.

Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors bestowed on a high school student. The NHS draws attention to the accomplishments of students who push beyond the average academic effort of students. The Society helps give practical meaning to the goals of scholarship, leadership, service and character.

Our activities include: blood drives, paper recycling, Valentine's Day Flower Sale, tutoring of middle school students, VIP Buddies with elementary students in need of additional friendships, and bottle/can drives to raise food for other countries.

Preparing students for tomorrow's careers means providing a solid understanding of diverse cultures, and in particular foreign languages. Spanish has become a critical second language for those in America , and the USA Spanish Club has responded to this need by giving students a solid foundation of basic Spanish words and phrases and insight into Central and South American cultures. Student trips to Mexico round out the educational experience at USA.

School spirit is the mission of the Student Council! We strive to make USA the best school for students by planning the Homecoming and Coming Home pep assemblies, Talent Shows, entertainment, games and other activities. If school spirit is high, the Student Council is probably the reason.
