Forming a Student Organization or Club
Student organizations and club activities are an important part of school life at OSHS. Memberships and participation in the different organizations/clubs give students an opportunity to pursue and use their own special interests and talents to develop desirable qualities of personality and character. Membership and active participation in school clubs can enhance a student's college application. Some organizations require enrollment in a course offered during the academic day. Clubs are formed or allowed to disband depending on student interest.
HOW TO FORM AN ORGANIZATION OR CLUB
The Principal authorizes the formation of school organizations. Any individual or group wishing to organize a club should be GUIDED by the following:
- Each organization/club must have aims, ideals, goals, and activities that are of constructive value to that individual or group, and to the school in general;
- Each organization/club must have a member or members of the OSHS faculty or staff as one of its advisers.
- Each organization/club must ensure that all students have equal opportunity for membership;
- Each organization/club must have in its charter a statement regarding the illegal use, possession, or selling of drugs and/or alcohol as outlined in school board policy.
The individual or group wishing to organize a club should then submit to the school bookkeeper the following information:
- Name of the Club
- Purpose of the Club
- Who the Club is open to (i.e. all students, Drama students, etc.)
- Dues that will be collected, if any
- Name of the faculty sponsor(s)
- Local, State, or National affiliations
An application containing the above information and including the sponsor’s signature and a list of at least ten (10) members as well as a charter stating the above guidelines will be presented to the principal by the bookkeeper for recommendation to the OSSD BOT for approval.
