Students interested in meeting peers in the LGBTQ+ community across all grades should consider joining the Gender Sexuality Alliance. The GSA is a safe space for all students to be themselves and to discuss LGBTQ+ issues, problems and experiences - while both improving the schools community and of course, hanging out with friends and having fun!

The Asian American Association (A3 Club) was founded by a cohort of students who were inspired by the growing sense of Asian activism during the winter of 2020.
We meet in Room 218 every Monday at 8am. If you’re interested in joining us for the 2021-2022 school year, please fill out the prospective member survey!

January 28, 2022 The Asian American Association hosted its first ever in-person Lunar New Year Festival! About 100 attendees enjoyed free activities and food. There were arts and crafts such as calligraphy, lantern-making, dragon-making, and tiger painting. There were also events such as a raffle and Michelle Lou’s guzheng performance. Most of all, this was a chance for MS54 students, staff and families to have fun and celebrate the Lunar New Year together. We hope everyone in our school community has a happy Lunar New Year, and we can’t wait to see you at our next event! |
