It is a judgment free zone in which writers are encouraged to write freely and offer feedback to other writers. There are also three competitions against other schools in the West Michigan Conference. These are held in the fall and winning writers and schools are able to receive recognition and honors for their writing.

Hope Squad: Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer mental health awareness and suicide prevention group. By partnering with local mental health agencies and training student members to recognize warning signs and connect those struggling to help, Hope Squad builds positive relationships and changes the culture surrounding mental health within the high school and local community. Hope Squad's content aligns closely with social-emotional learning standards, creating a foundation for students to develop social awareness, relationship skills, self-management, self-awareness, and responsible decision-making. Members are not asked to be counselors but rather are taught to recognize the signs that a peer is struggling and refer them to a trusted adult.
