West High School is proud to offer a wide variety of activities for our students. To learn more about School Clubs and Student Clubs—or to start a new club—please refer to the steps below. 

Student Clubs

Student Clubs are student-initiated and student-led, with a non-participating faculty supervisor. These clubs must be renewed each year.

To renew or start a Student Club, please submit:

• Student Club Application

• Student Club By-Laws

• Student Club Parent Permission Form

If you supervise more than one Student Club, please submit a complete set of paperwork for each club.

School Clubs

School Clubs are curriculum-related, organized, and directed by a faculty advisor.

• New School Clubs must submit brief documentation showing how the club connects to a course or curriculum (such as a course description or disclosure statement). This does not need to be extensive—materials already shared with students and families are sufficient.

• Current School Clubs do not need to resubmit paperwork unless there is a change to the club’s purpose, goals, charter, or faculty advisor, or if requested by administration.

Parent Permission Forms

Every student leader and member must have a signed parent permission form on file to participate in either a School Club or a Student Club. Forms should be returned to the faculty advisor once meetings begin.

Important Notes

Please carefully consider whether your club is best classified as a Student Club or a School Club. While Student Clubs may fundraise, they may not use West High School resources—including the Delta Center parking lot—for fundraising. If your club is connected to a West High course or curriculum, applying as a School Club may be the better option.
