Follow-up Questions

Our audience had many questions answered at the event. Here is a followup question and answer:

Is there a list somewhere of high school clubs? If a club I’m interested in did not exist, could I start one? If so, how?

  • CHHS – At CHHS we have a place on the CHHS school webpage that says “activities” tab at the top that will direct them to many of the clubs. We are constantly revamping this and updating them. To begin a club they have to find a teacher sponsor and administer approval.  We also have “involvement fairs” every semester during all lunches where clubs will set up stands to promote membership.
  • GHS – All of the clubs and activities are listed under the “Activities” tab on the GHS website. If a student would like to start a new club at GHS he/she would need to contact Catherine Henry, Assistant Principal.
