Clubs and Advisors
Clubs and Activities are offered to students so they can develop social skills, learn new hobbies and participate inappropriate leisure time activities. Co-curricular, extracurricular,and special interest groups are a valuable asset to student life at WHS. These groups help develop talents and skills, educate students beyond the regular school day, and provide times and memories that make high school an enjoyable part of one's life. Our challenge to every student is to get involved in the WHS experience.
WHS recognizes the extracurricular programs as an integral part of the curriculum. We believe that well-organized,purposeful activities reinforce and enrich the classroom experience. As there is much to be learned outside the "walls" of the classroom, clubs and organizations become instrumental vehicles for students to both learn about and to become a part of the school. Established organizations appear below. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular programs and to request the information of clubs in which they are interested. Clubs and organizations are limited only bythe interests of the students.
ART CLUB: (Advisor: Mr. & Mrs. Bunker, room 113) The WHS Art Club offers students a supportive studio environment where the principles and techniques of several art mediums are taught through structured assignments. Students who have a creative spark will find this club to be a strong outlet where their creative voice can be expressed. Students need no previous experience in formal art training to attend. Club will meet twice a month.
COLOR GUARD: (Advisor: Ms. Buffalo) WHS Color guard allows students to participate in visual arts and dance but with the added element of equipment work. Students will learn flag, rifle, sabre, and other common performance art equipment. Colorguard is about having fun while getting exercise in a creative musical environment and encouraging school spirit. The guard meets on Tuesdays after-school in the band room before going outside. Dress comfortably. Contact Mr. Duff at john.duff@weymouthschools.org
DRAMA CLUB: (Mr. Norton, Adams Intermediate School) the theater is a place for everyone! Reimagining and exploring the lives of others aids in the growth of self. Participating in the theater allows our students to become more introspective and empathetic. Understanding our selves and the feelings of others are among the most humanizing qualities we possess. The Weymouth High School Drama Club helps facilitate this growth in students. Students will be afforded the opportunity to perform and study technical theater in many varied forms including musicals, plays, and improvisation. For more information, please leave a message in his mailbox located in the Maroon Mailroom at WHS.
HIKING CLUB: (Advisors: Mr. Rand & Mr. Bunker) The WHS Hiking club offers a unique opportunity for students to explore several local parks and reservations with faculty lead hikes after school. The club is open to students of all levels regardless of past hiking experience. Preparedness, map reading, navigation and safety are emphasized with a focus on outdoor appreciation. Hikes will be dependent on weather conditions.
HOMEWORK HOTSPOT: (Advisors: Ms. McCarthy & Ms. O’Neill, Library), Homework Hotspot is available Monday through Thursday in the library after school until 3:20. Students needing to use the library resources, finish work on the computers, get some help with their homework, or simply need a quiet place to work are more than welcome. Homework Hotspot is supervised by a teacher each day. Please contact Ms. Brown (science) or Mrs. O'Neill (library) for more information
SADD (STUDENTS AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE DECISIONS): (Advisor: Ms. Lohmeyer) The mission of SADD is to give students the power to change their own environment and save lives. Many activities are sponsored throughout the year. The meetings are every Wednesday, directly after school, in room 119. All new members are welcome.
