Student Clubs & Organizations
Student clubs and organizations are one way for students to discover interests, expand their peer groups and enhance the school community. Under the guidance of a faculty or staff advisor, each club provides opportunities for students to develop a variety of skills, including how to facilitate a meeting, delegate tasks, hold others accountable to deadlines, plan and advertise events and present themselves and their club in a professional manner.
Each year clubs promote themselves to the student body and allow students an opportunity to join clubs that are of interest to them. Some of the clubs have included, but are not limited to:
