Clubs

 

 

Any student may initiate the procedure for starting a new club during the 1st or 2nd trimester of the school year.  Please note, students creating a club will need to identify a MCHS certificated staff member as the club Advisor. The new club application is available below. The completed forms must state the name, purpose, Advisor, meeting dates and times, and membership requirements of the proposed club and must be signed by at least twenty (20) MCHS students who are prospective members. A constitution must be drafted by the students and submitted to ASB. The club will need to be approved by the Student Senate. One or more club representatives must be present during a Senate meeting AND receive Senate approval before the club can become active. New Clubs may not be started during the 3rd trimester.

School sponsored clubs must be either related to the curriculum or must be a service organization. Political, religious or philosophical clubs and organizations are permitted by the Poway Unified School District and are referred to as non-school sponsored clubs. School sponsored clubs are student-initiated and led, may not have regular attendance by non-school persons, and must have a non-participatory custodial advisor. School sponsored and non-school sponsored clubs and organizations must abide by all regulations and procedures established by the school's ASB constitution. Non-school sponsored clubs may not advertise club events in the school bulletin or through flyers around campus. They are not restricted from social media platforms.

 

All new clubs must complete the online Club Application Form before a club can be processed for approval.  The online form includes the Club Application and the Club Handbook Contract.  Paper forms are no longer accepted.  ICC meetings are the first Thursday of each month.
