Student Co/Extra Curricular Activities

ASB and Class Council

The ASB leaders are responsible for planning school-wide activities and supervising ASB funds. ASB officers meet during the Leadership for Officers class and can be composed of elected ASB officers, appointed ASB officers, and elected class officers. Elections and appointments are held in the second semester. To hold an ASB leadership position, students must purchase an ASB card, maintain academic eligibility, and agree to the oath of office governed by the constitution.

Class Councils, one for each grade level, are established each year for planning class activities and fundraising. Elections for 10th, 11th, and 12th grades are held each second semester. Students may not hold more than one major office in student government and/or related activities. Requirements for office follow those for ASB leaders.

ASB Cards

ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY SANCTIONED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY MUST PURCHASE AN ASB CARD TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE ACTIVITIES. Most student activities, for example: newspaper, athletics, dances, assemblies, homecoming, etc., are financed by the Associated Student Body fund. The greatest single source of revenue for this fund is the sale of Associated Student Body Activity cards. Students can save in many ways with an ASB card. It provides free admittance to all home regular season athletic events and discounted tickets at away games. Students also can participate in countless other events at a discount, such as plays, dances, choir and band performances, etc. The card may be purchased from the Bookkeeper’s Office at any time during the year but get your card soon to get the most savings possible! If students purchase their ASB before ID cards are printed, the ASB indicator will be printed on the ID card. If the student waits to purchase ASB, they will need to get a sticker to add to their ID card. The price of the ASB card is $60.00. Scholarships are available for students who need support. Each student eligible to participate in the federal free and reduced-price meals program will have ASB fees waived. Please see your ASB bookkeeper, school admin, or school counselor for support.

Attendance Required for Both Athletics and Activities

A student is expected to be in attendance at all class periods of the day of a practice or event to participate in activities that afternoon or evening. If an athlete is not in all their classes, they cannot participate in practice or an event that afternoon or evening. This expectation applies to all activities, athletics and fine arts events. Participation may be denied for failure to comply with this policy. The only exceptions to this rule are: school related and approved absences (field trips), medical, dental, family emergencies, or legal appointments when appropriate written verification of the appointment from the provider has been submitted to the attendance office upon their return.
