Grand Haven High School is partnering with a company called The Epicenter to start a club called Unleashed focused on creative self-expression. Each session will span two weeks with eight meetings in total. The meetings will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the high school in room 0150 with teacher Kasey DeSmit.
The initiative is being led by Connor Maliesky and Allison Paradise of The Epicenter as a way for students of all ages to get outside of their headspace and do self-reflection as a way to further personal growth.
“[Our goal is] building confidence and connection, said Paradise.
The company has worked with Grand Haven before, setting up Encounter the Arts and the Grand Haven Community Art Night. They also have a program over in Detroit, Michigan working with a foster program to run similar events.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for students to express themselves, said junior Kari Taylor.
