Special Classes: Some special classes can also be extracurricular activities (ex. Newspaper). Others are advanced placement (AP) classes (like university-level courses). There are also classes for people who speak English as a second language and for people with disabilities (Special Education).

Sports: There are three sports seasons: fall, winter and spring. Both boys and girls play sports. Teams from different schools compete against each other and many people from the school and community go to watch and even travel to different towns to cheer on their favorite team.

Student Government: This is an organization focused on leadership. There is a president elected by the entire student body and other officers and representatives. While the goal of the organization is to give students a voice in their school, student government may also work on school spirit, service and community activities.

Service Clubs: The goal of these clubs is to participate in projects to help the community, for example: Earth Day clean-ups, tutoring younger pupils, collecting food for the poor, etc.

National Honors Society: This organization is for the top students. You are invited to join. It exists all over the U.S. Only juniors (11th graders) or seniors (12th graders) belong to this organization.

Prom: This is a dance held in the spring. Students spend months preparing this party. Usually boys ask girls. Girls wear fancy dresses and flowers the boys give them. Girls also give their dates a flower to wear in their tuxedos.

Homecoming: This is a weeklong, fall celebration when people who have graduated from the school “come home”. It is filled with spirit days (when students dress-up in costumes to fit themes), fun activities, a dance and a football game. There is even a Homecoming Queen selected.

Cheerleading/Pep Club: This club is usually made up of girls. They work on leading cheers during sports competitions, supporting athletes and increasing school spirit. It can also include a dance squad.

Band: This can also be a class. Students can be in special bands: jazz band, marching band who perform at half-time of football games or march in parades. Of course, the focus is instrumental musical performance. Bands can also travel to competitions.

Choir: This can also be a class. Many schools have different types of choirs: concert choir, jazz choir, show choir-which includes dancing and acting. Choirs can also travel to competitions.

Art Club: Art is a class, but an art club can do extra projects, go on field trips and much more, all focusing on art.

Drama Club: This can also be a class. Usually schools put on big plays and musicals 1-2 times each school year. Drama clubs will also do extra projects, go on field trips and much more all focusing on drama.

Debate Club: This can also be a class. “Teams” are formed that take a topic and argue or discuss it in front of a panel of judges. Whichever team makes the best argument wins the competition, called debate tournament.

Journalism: This is often a class and divided into yearbook and newspaper. Most schools publish a newspaper, written by students (once a month). Also, most schools have a yearbook, with every students’ photo and interesting information about the past year, also written by students.

Academic Clubs: These include: science club, math club, computer club, language clubs, etc. These are usually organized by teachers for students who are very interested in a subject.
