Activities & Organizations
National Junior Honor Society: Students who have gained and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or above and exhibit outstanding school leadership and citizenship may apply for the NJHS. Several activities and service projects are sponsored by this organization throughout the year.
M.E.S.A.: This program is designed to assist students with an interest in careers in math, science, and engineering.
Extra-Curricular Eligibility Requirements: Students participating in groups such as NAL, student government, athletics, cheerleaders, etc. are required to meet and maintain eligibility requirements as specified by each group. Academic and citizenship eligibility is determined by the printed report card(s) and shall be official at posting. Grades are “posted” when the school registrar enters all grades electronically and are available to students and parents. Grade changes after posting cannot restore lost eligibility, except for a documented clerical error. Any “I” grade will be considered as an “F” for the purpose of calculating the GPA/Eligibility. The “I” will be factored into the GPA as an “F” until made up. The “I’ must be made up within 10 school days in order to restore lost eligibility.
Eligibility must be established before a name may be placed on a ballot, or before try-outs occur.
A serious violation of school rules or behavior that brings discredit to the organization or the school may render a student ineligible to run or tryout. During the tenure of office a serious violation of school rules or behavior will result in the student being placed on probation or dropped from the organization.
Students must sign and adhere to the District Code of Conduct in order to participate.
A student who is on suspension from school may not participate, practice, travel with or play during the time of suspension.
It is the responsibility of the advisor of the organization/activity to determine eligibility and enforce established rules and procedures.
Students not meeting eligibility requirements because of an extra-ordinary reason may be eligible to appeal their case to the School Standards Committee for a possible variance. An application, which is available in the office, must be submitted to the Assistant Principal at least three days before tryouts, or before ballots are prepared, etc., according to the timeline of the activity involved. Students may only appeal to the standards committee if the reason(s) for not meeting eligibility standards is due to circumstances beyond the student’s control and the student would have also have met all eligibility requirements during any other quarter during that academic year.
