Clubs and Activities
ASB
SOAR High School’s ASB upholds the tenet of inclusiveness. We believe that creating an environment that seeks to identify and meet the needs of all students is the primary objective of a success leadership. We will work hard to create innovative activities, projects and programs that will be inclusive of all members of our student body. We will strive to create a camaraderie and a dynamic school spirit and culture that fosters a feeling of inclusion among a very diverse population.
Christian Club
Christian Club is intended as a safe space for people of all backgrounds to come together to learn more about Christ. The club participates in team building and ice breaker games, along with worship and short sermons. The goal of the club is for the members to grow in God’s word and his love. Officers do their best to not only grow the club, but to make its current members feel as welcome and loved as possible.
Journalism
This A-G elective offers students a chance to learn about writing, editing, photography, layout, how to create story ideas, broadcasting, and the many opportunities available in this field. The class is responsible for producing the monthly SOARce newspaper, news broadcast, and end-of-year senior magazine. Members are enrolled in the Writing for Publication class taught by Mrs. Perez in S-5.
Mock Trial
Mock Trial is an academic competition where student teams study a hypothetical case, conduct legal research, and receive guidance from their coach in courtroom procedures and trial preparation. The trial itself is a simulation of a criminal case, in which students portray lawyers, witnesses, court clerks, and bailiffs, thus acquiring a working knowledge of our judicial system while developing their analytical abilities and communication skills. The Antelope Valley Union High School District Mock Trial competition traditionally takes place in February and runs for four weeks culminating in an awards ceremony to celebrate the top performing schools.

InvenTeam students rely on inquiry and hands-on problem solving as they integrate lessons from STEM to develop invention prototypes that solve real-world problems.
