Interact

Siuslaw Interact is a club for high school students ages 12-18 who want to connect with others in their community or school. Siuslaw Interact club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. Our Interact Club organizes at least two service projects a year: one that benefits our community and one that encourages international understanding. Our Club also plans Club Projects that involve helping our schools. While our Interact club receives guidance and a donation from our local Rotary Club of Florence, they govern and support themselves. SHS Interact Club meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month in the culinary room at lunch period.
