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.
