Clubs And Activities
Clubs and Activities
We are no longer accepting Student or School Club applications for the first semester of the 2026–27 school year.
We will begin accepting applications again for new Student or School Clubs for the second semester on December 1, 2026. We will accept applications through the end of the school day on Monday, January 18, 2027.
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.
