The purpose of the school organizations is to teach the students compatibility. Every facet of school life teaches students how to work with others. Foremost in teaching this harmony are the organizations sponsored by the school. Students are able to achieve positions of leadership while they learn to follow orders as well. As clubs have been added student participation has increased, where there are now 55 student organizations. In this way students form close friendships that have lasted far beyond high school. As our school grew the students could be proud not only of the general growth but of the growth of certain sections in school. With the opportunities the students had to belong to a club they can truly appreciate their democratic living. Each member of the organization has an equal voice in decisions made by the club. Progress has been shown through the school building and the enlarged curriculum, but the most important progress has been made by student participation through school organizations.
