High school is more than just attending classes and trying to get good grades. Students can take full advantage of the opportunities high school offers them to explore their interests and interact with fellow students in activities and clubs.
Honor Societies
For students who do well academically or artistically, there are organizations like the National Honor Society, National Science Honor Society and National Art Honor Society that reward students whose achievements are superior. Students who desire to be a part of high school honor societies are required to have grade point averages of at least 3.0, on a 4.0 scale, and may have to get nominated(提名)by teachers or request recommendation letters. While these organizations focus on scholarship, they also teach members leadership skills and encourage community service.
Sports and Athletics Clubs
Whether formally joining a sports team or simply participating in school activities, high schools offer students a wide range of sports and athletics clubs. Helping students stay active and healthy, these clubs teach students the importance of teamwork, patience and practice.
Community Service Organizations
Organizations like the Key Club International and Habitat for Humanity help students give back to their communities by participating in structured service learning activities. From cleaning a local park to distributing(分配)Thanksgiving baskets to the homeless, these organizations teach children the importance of reaching out a helping hand to those in need.
Career Development Clubs
Determining the right career path comes from exploring different options to learn what each career requires and how it fits your interests. High schools develop clubs and organizations dedicated to students who want to own businesses, become teachers, doctors, lawyers and actors, among many other careers. Students participating in these clubs are active in the community and often compete against students on local, regional and sometimes national levels. Clubs like DECA(an association of marketing students) and FBLA(Future Business Leaders of America) have students compete against one another to test their business skills. Other career-oriented clubs include organizations for future teachers, debate and photography enthusiasts.
