It’s a new year at HCP, and students are searching for ways to get involved with the community. Many clubs have returned this year, along with some new ones that will give students with a variety of interests a place to call home. That said, here’s a provided list of the clubs that have been confirmed available to students this year.
Archery: It’s not a surprising fact that the earliest evidence of the bow and arrow dates to more than 10,000 years ago. At Harding Charter Prep’s Archery club, they strive to continue a tradition that has existed for longer than Homo Sapiens has been the dominant species on Earth. The starting time has not yet been decided.
