Section 7 CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

SCHOOL CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS There are a large number of organized clubs and groups at Pontiac Township High School which offer opportunities for students to obtain experiences in working together on problems of mutual interest outside the regular curriculum. Students are encouraged to avail themselves of the opportunity of joining at least one club. Any group interested in creating a school club must consult with the Principal on plans, ideas, and possible sponsorship. Once a sponsor has been found and a complete charter or constitution is created, the documents must then be submitted to the Student Council for approval or rejection. If approved, the charter or constitution will be presented to the Leadership Team. The Leadership Team will follow the same process as course approval when approving or denying the request. ART CLUB - The Art Club is a service organization whose membership is comprised of those currently taking Art, who maintain a C average. Activities include exhibits by Club members, encouraging the understanding of Art and its place in daily living.

THE CHIEF - Throughout the year, seniors of the Chief staff publish the school paper with the help of underclassmen to inform, and serve the students. Each issue is placed on the school web pages.

FFA - FFA develops premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education by encouraging students to participate in a variety of leadership conferences, career development events, and social activities. To be in FFA, students must be enrolled in an agriculture education course. FACS - The Family and Consumer Sciences is the national organization of students studying family and consumer science in the Junior and Senior High schools. All students who are enrolled or who have had a year of family and consumer science are eligible for membership.
