I think there is a need to engage more with the newbies, to be more creative in how we welcome them, for example pointing those who are writing about their high school club to the Schools project where they will find an unending source of to-do waiting for them. Of course, since many of them are motivated primarily by a desire to document their high school club this may not be productive. But it might be.
My first contribution to Wikipedia was a university club (not sure it's notable, but it's so far evaded deletion), and an article on the local pub where this club frequently met (eventually AfD'ed for "nonsense" and non-notability). I like to think I"ve become a useful wikipedian since then.
So yeah, anyone who wants to write about their high school club stands at least some chance of being made useful.
