About German Club
German Club and German at Clements
The German program at Clements was founded in 1983 when the school first opened. Clements offers German I through IV. In German I you'll learn to express thoughts, ideas, and characteristics about yourself while in German II you'll look outward to describing others and your surroundings. In the unified German III and IV class you'll expand on your skills from German I and II while also learning how to argue a point and studying for the German Language and Culture AP Exam. German Club also has branches at Travis High School and Ridge Point High School. More info about German in FBISD, German culture, and some other fun additions can be found at the FBISD German Website linked below.
German Club Officers
Mahira Momin - Copresident
Hallo! I’m Mahira, a junior and the Secretary/Historian for German Club this year! Meine Leiblingsdeutscheswort ist Geburtstag! I joined German club 2 years ago and participated in the Polka Band (we got first place 💪) and am so excited to attend Houstonfest again this year!
Landon Bynum - Copresident
Hallo Leute! My name is Landon Bynum, and I am one of the CHS German Club representatives. I am currently a junior in German III. I performed in the 2023-2024 Polka Band, which placed first at the Texas State German Contest, and I will be conducting for the 2024-2025 school year. I also placed second in grammar and sight reading at the Texas State German Contest in 2023. Mein Lieblingsdeutscheswort ist Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz. Danke fürs Lesen!
Lev Solomon - Secretary/Historian
Hi i'm Lev! I'm a senior this year and recently went to Germany for the GAPP exchange program. I love art and plan to pursue filmmaking at Rice University, but i'm also fascinated by languages. My ultimate goal in life is to live in Sweden and be the world's best film director, so watch out for my name on the big screens (or your TV if you're watching a Swedish movie). Feel free to hmu if you have any questions about German Club or film or anything!
Michael Smalling - Representative
Hi i'm Michael, a sophomore in German club! I like history and journalism. In my free time I play fighting games and tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons. I liked studying language so I wanted to contribute in my own little way by becoming an officer of German club.
Chris Pontiff - GNHS President
Hallo, I'm Chris. I'm a senior in German III with Allison, Landon, Mahira, and Lev. As GNHS President Ido various tasks; my biggest undertaking last year was building this whole website from the ground up but this year it will be GNHS SPARK. My favorite thing about German Club is the sense of community that our relatively small club brings. My Lieblingsdeutscheswort is "einfach" because it means "easy" and it's always nice when things our easy.
Allison Sobrinho - GNHS Vice President
Hi, I’m Allison and I’m looking forward to being your GNHS Vice President this year! I am currently a junior in Clements, and this will be my 3rd year in German. Along with German, I’m also apart of Band, Crochet Club, and Habitat for Humanity. My favorite German word is Menschenauflauf.
