Philosophy
Since classroom work deals primarily with the mental or intellectual values associated with various subjects, the establishment of clubs and teams has evolved to give students the opportunity to work with a group of like-minded young people in areas of interest outside the classroom.
Purpose
- To increase fellowship among groups of students with similar interests
- To broaden the interests of students in different endeavors
- To develop worthy social ideals, attitudes, and habits
- To develop leadership qualities
- To work together toward a common goal
MJH offers the following student organizations/groups:
- Art Club
- Builder's Club
- Chess Club
- Cheerleaders (tryouts held in spring)
- Crochet and Knitting Club
- Dance Team (tryouts held in spring)
- National Jr. Honor Society (must meet criteria)
