Activities/Organizations
Student Council
This organization consists of elected officers from each class and from the student body as a whole, and a series of committees which allow greater participation from all students. Student Council is responsible for guiding the Homecoming Spirit Week activities and the dances. In addition to that, Student Council sponsors several service projects each year, including Highway Clean Up, Santa's Day Out and Fun in the Sun for foster children, Share Your Christmas, and two blood drives. Student Council meets every other week, and the committees meet on an as needed basis.
Peer Advising Program
Students who apply and are accepted into the Peer Advising Program attend a summer leadership institute, which trains them to lead other students and takes them out of their "comfort zone." These students are then responsible for "Howdy Camp," our orientation program. They make sure the camp run smoothly, and do everything from leading sessions to playing games with new students. Peer Advisors are also assigned a certain number of new students to mentor throughout the school year. Meetings are on a monthly basis.
Book Club
The Book Club encourages students to love reading. The students choose the books, read them, and then meet on a monthly basis to discuss them. Students may join the club at any time during the year.
Art Club
Love art? Feel creative? Like to be part of a group? Then the Art Club is for you. This club offers students the opportunity to explore art, and to serve the community and school in the process. Some of the activities offered by the Art Club include a trip to the art museum, making ornaments for the school Christmas tree, creating artwork for Gala, competition art, and crafting with senior citizens.
