Lake Michigan Catholic High School provides many opportunities for our students to be involved in extracurricular activities. Information about these programs is listed below.

Debate Team

Debate is an intellectual sport. Committed debaters aspire to higher levels of critical thinking which ultimately affects all areas of academics including the SAT test and college admissions. Members compete against other schools in numerous categories. LMC belongs to the West Michigan Debate League under the National Forensics League.  Advisor: Angela Martin amartin@lmclakers.org

Drama Club

Members of the MSHS Drama Club present a play in the Fall & Spring each year.  Typically the spring production is a musical.  It is not unusual to have 50-70 middle and high school students participate in these productions and they are very well done.  

Environmental Club

The environmental club participates in environmental activities both at school and in the community. We help both schools celebrate Earth Day, oversee and collect bottles and paper at the middle/high school, ensure recycle bins are visible and available at both schools and plan group activities, including visiting science museums and workdays at Sarett Nature Center.  For more information, contact Amber Zebell, azebell@lmclakers.org.

Interact Club

Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. LMC is part of a “Community” Interact Club and is combined with the St. Joseph High School Interact Club. This community Interact Club is sponsored by the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor Rotary Club. Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of:

• Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
• Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
• Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
• Advancing international understanding and goodwill
Advisor: Mrs. Marsh
 

International Club

The LMC International Club institutes values of an all-inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds come together as a Laker Family.  This club brings awareness to both the differences and the similarities that bind us all together.  We work to celebrate and promote the understanding of diverse cultures, languages, and heritages in our Laker community and beyond.
