History & Culture Club

The History and Culture Club has been a prominent part of MIA for the last 7 years. After its formation in 2016 with just a few members, it has multiplied in size ever since. It is sponsored by Mrs. Galiana, Señor Higuera, Señora Walther, and Mr. Ginther. The club emphasizes the importance of learning about the cultures, language skills, and history of others across the globe. It works to teach its members key life skills, as well as independence. 

The sponsors plan annual summer trips for anyone in the school to partake in.  So far they have been to countless cities within France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. They are traveling to Italy and Greece this upcoming June 2023. The sign-ups have increased from just 5 in 2016, to a total of 54. This will be the club’s  largest trip yet. 

Currently, the club is focusing on fundraising to cover additional costs for the trip.  So far, they have raised $9,500 of a $25,000 goal. This club presents students with the opportunity of a lifetime that they will be sure to never forget!
