Clubs and Organizations Hero

Clubs and Organizations

An education at a military school would not be complete without fun and challenging extracurricular offerings and clubs and organizations. Clubs allow cadets to get involved in activities outside of their busy academic and leadership curriculum to create life balance. With over 20 clubs to choose from, there is a club for every student on campus.

 

Many clubs help students complete community service projects, some are for entertainment or career development, while others are faith-based. To ensure student engagement and participation, all cadets are required to participate in clubs during the academic year. In fact, many clubs are organized and led by cadets. Whether you board on campus, or enroll as a day student, there is always time in the daily schedule for athletics, clubs, and other after-school activities.

 

Unlike other public schools and most private schools, at our day/boarding school for boys, you can you learn to fly in high school , gain business skills, play fun games, learn how to fix things, improve your computer skills, hone your creative talents, and so much more. Clubs allow you to go beyond your comfort zone and try new things! You will make new friends and have opportunities to work in teams, as well as exercise your leadership and communication skills.

In addition, special club programs will expand your horizons and make an impact. Model United Nations and Harvard Model Congress create opportunities to stretch your mental abilities and expand your knowledge. Honor Council will give you a chance to follow your moral compass and hold your peers accountable.

And last, but not least, Peer Counseling and Peer Tutoring offer a great way to support your fellow cadets. For more information about trips, weekend activities, dances, and events, see our Associated Student Body page.

National Honor Society (NHS)

By Invitation Only.

The National Honor Society is one of the oldest and largest recognition programs for high school students in grades 10-12 in the United States of America; however it is also present in several other countries. NHS honors those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. 

It is estimated that over one million students participate in the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society. 

Once selected, a student is awarded membership in the local chapter at a special induction ceremony. With induction, each member assumes certain obligations as outlined by the chapter and the national constitution.

The chapter must conduct a service project for the school or community and see to the development of an individual service project for each member. Chapters may choose to sponsor fundraising projects or otherwise involve themselves with the school to reach the chapter’s goals. In addition, regular meetings of the chapter can be held to conduct chapter business. Be a stellar student and give back through school and community service projects!
