What is Spectrum, and Where Did it Come From?
In 2011, Atholton's Gay-Straight Alliance was formed under the leadership of Maya Carey and several others. For the first three years, the club's membership rapidly changed, and leadership positions changed as well. The club struggled to stay afloat, and membership grew and fell sporadically late until 2013, when a stroke of luck saved the club: the membership miraculously skyrocketed, and the club, since then, has been under the capable hands of our current club leaders. In early 2014, the club's name was changed to Spectrum to include all people rather than just straight and gay. The club also recorded a near double in size in mid-2014. That is the club that you see thriving today: Spectrum 2014-2015!
