Club Descriptions

• ADSIP is the Alcohol Drug Student Information Program. It was incorporated as part of Yes! Safe Choices for Kids by State Senator Libous. ADSIP peer leaders are trained to present information to younger students about the dangers of alcohol and drugs, and teach them resistance skills. ADSIP students are role models and must pledge not to use alcohol or drugs.
• Catholic Character Council is a committee composed of the school principal (Ms. Dwyer), teachers, and students. We meet once a month to discuss issues related to character development. Programs are created to heighten student awareness of what it means to be a person of character.
• Chamber Group is for students reading at NYSMA level 3 and above and concentrates on classical music only. Functions include all concerts, field trips to retirement homes, masses, and the annual 5-0 dinner.
• Chorus groups are clubs that meet every activity period and after school on Fridays. As performance groups, they accept students on the basis of audition only. No school credit is given for these groups, but they do travel around the country to compete with other choral groups on a national level. Last spring, we competed in the Music Festivals event in Nashville, TN.
• Fan Club promotes school spirit by providing an enthusiastic community of supporters at all athletic events.
• Hockey Club consists of those who compete in the local high school hockey league. The season runs from November through February.
• Key Club is a volunteer organization where we try to reach out to the community. We do so by helping out food pantries, shelters, and charitable drives. Also, Key Club's main event, the "Relay for Life" 24 hour walk is a lot of fun and well worth joining Key Club for. Key Club is one of Seton's most prestigious clubs and is well recognized by most colleges.
• Liturgy Committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff who meet approximately once a month. These individuals are willing to volunteer their time representing all ministries (celebrant, deacon, greeters, lectors, eucharistic ministers, musicians, cantors, gift bearers, and altar servers). They are responsible for planning all school liturgical rites/rituals throughout the academic year. This includes prayer services, penances services, and eucharistic celebrations. For more information, contact Mrs. Mathis in the Guidance Office.
• Mathletes is a competative club for those who are looking for a math challenge. There are five local meets during the year with competition among eight or nine local schools. Students are asked to solve math problems within given time restraints. Several of our students have qualified for the state meet, which is held in March or April each year. Seton has always had a strong team, and yet this is a fun "no pressure" club where anyone who is interested can test their math skills.
• Mock Trial students may find information at the New York State Bar Association Mock Trial Tournament page.
• National Honor Society recognizes students' achievements in the areas of academics, leadership, service, and character. To first be considered for membership in the organization, an 11th or 12th grade student must have a cumulative average of 92%. Students must also complete an application which is reviewed by a committee of teachers.
• Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Kids apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics.
• S.A.D.D. The mission of S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) is to plan events and activities to make people aware of the issues of underage drinking, drug use, impaired driving, and other destructive decisions in our school and community. We participate in the Lung Cancer Awareness Walk/Run, the Danielle 5K Walk/Run, and the AIDS walk. We host the annual "SADD Stay Safe Halloween Party and Haunted House" for children in the community, and the SADD 4-on-4 Basketball Tournament for SCCHS students. SADD is a fun club with an important message, and everyone is welcome to join.
• Science Olympiad is a competition taking place on three levels: Regional, State, and National. Each competition consists of eighteen 2-3 "mini" contests cutting across all science disciplines including chemistry, biology, earth science, physics, technology, astronomy, etc. The Regional Competition - supported by the Binghamton section of the American Chemical Society - takes place at Binghamton University. The SCC Team placed 4th in regional competition during the 2007-2008 school year.
• Ski Club begins the season with the first Wednesday after Christmas vacation. Skiing seven times at Greek Peak, student have an opportunity to learn and improve their skiing and snowboarding skills.
• Spanish Club explores Spanish-speaking cultures by way of traditions, foods, and arts. You don't have to be taking Spanish to join the club but you must show a sincere interest in learning about Spanish-speaking cultures.
• Stand in the Gap is a club whose mission is to stand in the gap between the poor and the rich, the loved and the unloved, the able and the disabled. We have some projects we do every year, e.g., the Samaritan House spaghetti dinner, food drives for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Teen-to-Teen Christmas program, Parents' Club craft fair, after-school tutoring program for Horace Mann students, and numerous calls for volunteers for a variety of events. Our students have gained a reputation for graciousness and helpfulness.
• Student Council. The Executive Committee of the Student Council is elected by the student body to mediate between the student body and the administration. The Executive Committee is the chief organizer of many school events, and is also responsible for many fundraising events which support the scholarship and tuition assistance funds.
