Clubs and Activities

Chess Team

Chalker Wildcat Chess Team started in the fall of 2021. Chess helps students develop their strategic thinking, logical reasoning, situational awareness, analysis, and sportsmanship skills. Chess team is currently open to boys and girls in grades 9-12. A middle school meeting is being planned to begin during this school year. Last year, Chess team members took part in the first interscholastic scrimmage against Newton Falls in the spring of 2022. During the 2022-23 school year, the team is expected to play officially sanctioned matches against Newton Fall, Liberty, and Badger. The boys and girls of the chess team look forward to bringing the county chess trophy back to Chalker High School!

Destination Imagination

Destination Imagination is a middle school club that focuses on encouraging middle schoolers to stretch their minds and think outside of the box while working in a collaborative environment. Teams of 7 are presented with open-ended challenges which require teams to use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to solve. Additionally, students' ELA skills are then put to the test in some form when it comes time to present the solution in front of area judges. Students use creative and critical thinking in order to solve these problems, many times experiencing failure before they experience success. As a result, students learn that failure and trial and error are the true indicators of finding success.

Drone Racing

The 2021-2022 school year marked the inaugural year of the Drone Racing League. Southington along with 5 other Trumbull County Schools made up the league. The race part of the competition consists of both a head-to-head and capture the flag events. Chalker placed 1st in capture the flag and 2nd in head-to-head at the competition that was held on April 9th at Youngstown-Warren Airport. The Drone Racing League is sponsored by the Trumbull County ESC and PIA (Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics).

Spanish Club

Spanish club is open to any high school student interested in expanding their knowledge about the Hispanic culture. We will explore things that classroom time does not allow. Students will explore and celebrate the Spanish-speaking diverse cultures through hands-on activities. The intent is to be both educational and fun for its members.
