ACTIVITIES
We
believe arts and activity programs contribute to the
development of leadership, talent and creativity in our
students. Our goal is that students
acquire knowledge about themselves through working with
others and cooperating with students of different
interests, backgrounds, and personalities toward the
attainment of a common goal. This is an extremely
valuable experience. Our hope is that there is
"something for everyone" in the diverse activities
program at Vista Ridge High School.
The vast
majority of our clubs and activities will be formed by
students with particular interests and skills. The
process for forming a club is very simple. Students will
pick up a Club/Activity Application in the Main Office,
petition a faculty member to be the club moderator, and
if the club or activity is approved, it is formed.
As
we move closer to the 2008-2009 school year and staff
are hired, we will be adding clubs and organizations.
WE
BELIEVE:
•
Activities contribute to the lifelong development of the
whole student; intellectual, physical, social and
emotional;
•
Activities are an integral component of a comprehensive
education;
•
Activities enhance other curricular and co curricular
areas;
•
Activities enable students to develop their creative
potential; and
• We
have a commitment
to
teach students skills to assist their overall
development as young adults.
