Student council is a group of students elected by peers to participate in designated areas of school government. Any student is generally welcome to attend the council meetings. Generally, councils participate in the planning of school events such as prom and spirit rallies; they also assist administration with events for the local community such as blood drives or donation collections. The student council works with the district’s school board, school administration, parent organizations, student body, and local community to decide on and approve projects and initiatives for the school, students, and community.

Student council members bring ideas, requests, and feedback to the meetings and a democratic process is used to give students a voice and make decisions in creating a year-long calendar. Students who participate in student councils, under the supervision of a teacher or administrator, learn about the democratic process, civic responsibility, leadership, problem solving, and teamwork.

Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.

Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of

1. Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
2. Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
3. Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
4. Advancing international understanding and goodwill

Tioga High School has taken on the Walk For Water event as one of its yearly projects. We are excited to share this great event with the Groveland community and how our kids are learning to give back to their local community!

The Spanish Club is a club that meets at lunch to brainstorm fundraising ideas for field trips. They also take time to work together as a group on Spanish classroom projects and assignments. This is a very important club for us at Tioga because of the assistance it gives students learning a very important second language for future job opportunities. Spanish Club also helps our Tioga High students become qualified for entrance into four-year colleges.

The Ski Club at Tioga meets starting in the beginning of the school year to garner interest and excitement about the upcoming ski season. They also meet and discuss fundraising ideas to make their winter ski trips less expensive.

This club has been set to plan and organize our yearly trip to Ashland, Oregon and Southern Oregon University for the Shakespeare Festival. This is an overnight trip and is quite expensive for students to attend. This group not only plans and organizes for each year’s event but uses their meetings to brainstorm fundraising ideas to help students pay for their trip. Two popular fundraisers that are used each year are the Family Dinner Night which allows local families to purchase a meal prepared by the club and the Cosmos popcorn sales fundraiser. All proceeds are deposited into the Shakespeare ASB account for future use!
