Student-Led Clubs at Rogers

  • One of our campus goals is to encourage students to explore, identify, and develop their strengths and passions. Clubs are a great way to build positive relationships and encourage students to find a sense of belonging at school. Research shows students who feel connected at school are more likely to put effort into academics.

    Students have two options when it comes to clubs:

    1. Join a Club: Check the Student Clubs webpage to see what clubs are happening and join one. There are no sign-up sheets, just find one you like and attend. If it is an organization like National Junior Honor Society or Student Council, check their webpages for more information. 

    2. Start a Club: If you're interested in starting your own club, these are the steps you need to take:

    • Make sure there are no other clubs similar to your's before you start by checking the Student Clubs List. 
    • Find a faculty sponsor. The faculty sponsor will be present at meetings in a supervisory capacity only.
    • Find a meeting place (Usually the sponsor teacher's classroom).
    • Decide on a day and time. Clubs can happen before school, after school, or at lunch. Clubs can happen weekly, every other week, or monthly. However, it can only be one day a week. (Ex. The club can only meet on Wednesdays, not Wednesdays and Fridays.)
    • Once you have these items in place, come grab the New Club paper form in the library. You will receive an email if your club is approved.

    Remember! Student-led clubs cannot use chromebooks or online programs from the school.
