A varied program of student activities is sponsored by the ASB. Student support and inventiveness determine the diversity and number of activities. Through sponsorship, the ASB provides students with the opportunity to participate in activities that are of interest to them. The Student Life Coordinator is prepared to assist students in initiating new organizations, creating constitutions or planning events.
There are no overall criteria to be met before participating in activities, i.e., no social status or minimum grade level. However, each group establishes its own eligibility criteria for membership, and must be approved by the ASB before it can function as a recognized student organization. Any newly formed club becomes eligible for ASB funding after two months of activity. Activities that may be sponsored by the ASB include speakers, trips, sporting events, blood drives, and lunchtime entertainment. Information concerning student activities can be found in the Student Calendar, bulletin boards, and newsletters.
