ACTIVE CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
Automotive Club - The SCC Automotive Club was established in order to strengthen the ties within the local automotive industry and create a common purpose and bond among the students. Members’ involvement ranges from special projects, to organizing and hosting car shows and other special events within the local community, generating funds to support and sustain multiple scholarships and tool awards for our student members, send our students on field trips, and gain the ability to tour facilities within the automotive community such as the BMW plant. This community involvement allows our students the opportunity to witness the countless possibilities within the automotive field and also allows the industry leaders the opportunity to directly interact with the students, which could potentially lead to future employment.
Advisor: David Myers

The club is for anyone interested in pottery, ceramics or wishing to become professional potter or clay artist.
