Spanish Club
Spanish Club
is one of the largest and most active clubs at Oak Hill High School.
Committees of students plan activities each month for members. Every
year, the club members design t-shirts for the club. The club also
participates in school activities such as Homecoming and the
Valentines Dance. Throughout the year, club members also plan
cultural activities. It's a great way to have fun and to learn about
Spanish culture.
