There are several school clubs that students can become involved with. There are three important reasons why students are encouraged to be active members in one or more school activities:

• The life of the school is dependent on the people who are members of the school. When students contribute to the school community, the school becomes a stronger and more vibrant place – a place where learning and growing happens in many ways and not just within the classroom walls.

• Being involved in a school club promotes teamwork and interpersonal skills. Developing and enhancing these skills while still in junior/senior high is a critical step in fostering good citizenship and preparing for the future.

• Most scholarship applications have a community service component. By being involved in the school clubs, students will have examples to include in the community service portion of their applications.

So … be an active member of your school community!
