Clubs and Organizations
Join a Club or Organization!
Our purpose is to provide co-curricular organizations and activities to permit all interested students an opportunity to participate. Every effort is made to avoid membership requirements that would prevent this participation
Student Membership Requirements
Students are encouraged to join and participate in teams, clubs and organizations. Membership requirements are contained in each club's constitutions and by-laws; there are general requirements regarding eligibility for membership in any sport, club or organization.
In accordance with Marion County School Board and established school policies, certain requirements must be met by the inpiduals involved in activity programs.
These are as follows:
- 1. All students involved in activities must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA and meet the club's requirements. Freshmen must have been "promoted" from 8th grade. Students may not have a fine on the "debt list".
- Students involved in any activities, whether on or off campus, are governed by the Marion County Code of Student Conduct.
- Students must complete a student participation and Parental Approval Form prior to joining any club.
Student Participation Guidelines
A student may hold the office of president for one(1) club/organization only per school year. However, a student is not limited to the number of other offices he/she may hold in other clubs; i.e. treasurer, secretary, etc. In addition to the grade point average requirement, a good discipline and attendance record are important. A student is not to attend a club or school-sponsored function on days when he/she has not attended school. It is the sponsor's responsibility to enforce this policy.
