Parent Complaints
Great question. We're still figuring that out. Here's what we know so far.
We study volcanoes. Scientifically. Mostly by watching YouTube videos and gasping a lot. Our advisor (Mr. Hendricks, Chemistry) was voluntold.
We don't actually worship volcanoes (the school board made us clarify this). We "deeply appreciate the geological majesty of magmatic formations." Same thing.
We build baking soda volcanoes. Every single week. We have gotten very good at it. Our record: 14 eruptions in one afternoon. Nobody was there to witness it. We know what we did.
(These are real quotes. Mostly.)
"I joined because I thought it was a cooking club. 'Molten' lava cake, you know? Three months later, I'm the Vice President of Eruption Events. No regrets."
Brianna K.
VP of Eruption Events, 11th Grade
"My GPA went down but my understanding of tectonic plate subduction went way up. Worth it? Absolutely. Am I okay? That's a different question."
Tyler M.
Chief Lava Officer, 10th Grade
"The club has a mandatory chant at the start of every meeting and I refuse to tell you what it is. Come find out. Bring eye protection."
Sofia R.
Grand High Geologist, 12th Grade
"I am Mr. Hendricks. I was not asked to be in this section. Please send help. The kids are fine. I am less fine."
Mr. Hendricks
Faculty Advisor (Involuntary)
Room 214B. Unless 214B is being used. Then the parking lot.

Field Trip Planning
We will not get approval. We plan anyway.
You felt something when you read this page. That heat? That rumbling? That was either the volcano... or you left your lunch in your backpack again. Either way β join us.
