Clubs at NCHS connect students with similar interests outside of the classroom.

Typically, we read four books a year--everything from fantasy to historic fiction. Like any self-respecting book club, we enjoy treats and good discussions about literature and life. Everyone is welcome! |
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
Sponsor Dustin Arrellano Dungeons and Dragons is a role play game first published in 1974. It can also be referred to as a live action role play game. Many people do not understand the game, but the people that do say that it is a game of pure imagination. There are different kinds of characters which can entail human, dwarf, elf, halftling, half-elf, half-orc, and gnome. Class determines how the character will be affected. Your character will also have a moral alignment, this will determine how they act in certain situations. Lastly, players have to understand the dice. It’s a normal d20 dice, but you also have to rely on the numbers of other players. The sponsor for D&D club is Dustin Arellano each Thursday night after school. Dungeons and Dragons is a club that does not compete in anything except against each other in the game. The club is purely an outlet for students to express their imaginations. |
