The majority of Edward Little High School students are religious, but what about those who don’t practice a religion? Trevor Laliberte, an EL freshman, brought this to the school's attention by starting a club called the Secular Student Alliance. After a lot of research and studying about religions online, Laliberte figured out that he was an atheist. Last year he discovered the Secular Student Alliance, a national organization that helps students like Laliberte establish this group in high school and college settings.

As Laliberte put it, the club is still “young.” The meetings so far have only been discussions, but great things lie ahead, Laliberte believes. The club has been attracting attention, though not all positive.

The club isn’t only for atheists, but anyone who has an open mind and doesn’t mind discussing the topic of religion.

Laliberte said that he was on his own in the beginning, until he found science teacher Dr. Andrew Baca, who is the club advisor now. “It’s a good idea for kids to talk about doubts they have about religion," Baca said, "It’s a place for them to talk about their the big issues. I agreed to become the advisor so I could help them organize and make it really happen.”
