I think there is a need to engage more with the

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.
