The purpose of our 21st CCLC grant at B.M.C. Durfee High School is to establish and create exciting after school programs for our students centered around the integration of academics through fun and meaningful student driven programming.   It is a true extension of the classroom as our after school teachers strive to work closely with their students, while focusing their "club" to develop the use of strong student voice and input at each of the programs.  We are looking to continue this well established pattern of strong student voice, by encouraging and developing a safe space for all of our students to learn and flourish in this environment after school.  
 
" Programming contributes to deepening student learning during the school year and summer by combining content knowledge with interactive, relevant, and engaging learning experiences that emphasize the skills necessary to apply that knowledge successfully so that all students can be successful in school, empowered to make informed choices in life after high school, and prepared for college and careers."
 
Some of the creative programs that we have in our OST programming include Durfee's Top Pop Dance program, The Chef's Corner (Culinary), Advanced Technology Club (podcasts and advanced technology), Game Club, Between The Lines Book Club, and Robotics with our in-house engineer.
