Along with the marching band, this school is also home to a fabulous showchoir directed by Sharon Bush. Friends Showchoir has won many Grand Champion along with many caption awards over the past 30 years. The school was widely recognized for its advanced Math Club, competing favorably against such state supported science and math magnet schools as Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia and Illinois Science High School during its heyday ^[2], but has since declined due to disorganization and disdain for academic elitism. The school's Science Bowl team is also well-established, as it competed in the 2006 National Science Bowl ^[3].
