ASB
Lakeside
High School's
school and class officers provide leadership through the Associated
Student Body. They are the
voice of the students. ASB is in charge of all assemblies and
presenters that come to Lakeside High School. They are responsible
for the morning announcements and numerous other fund raisers
and activities throughout the year. Once a month, they have a
General ASB meeting where representatives from each class, club,
and committee come and voice any concerns or general opinions.
In order to be an officer, a student must be at least a sophomore
at Lakeside High School and participate in a minimum of two semesters
of Leadership.
DECA
is for students enrolled in marketing education classes. It is
an organization revolved around students and is designed for leadership
and personal development. DECA is the only student organization operating in
all 50 states, the U.S.
Territories, and Canada, that attracts people to productive careers
in management, merchandising, and marketing. It happens to be a co-curricular
organization serving as an integral part of the classroom instructional
program.
FCCLA
Family,
Career and Community Leaders of America, Inc. is a nonprofit national
vocational student organization for young men and women in family and
consumer sciences education in public and private school through grade
twelve. In
1945 when the first Future Homemakers of America chapter was founded,
the organization's mission and curriculum were basic: preparing young
women to be homemakers. As the times changed, so did the organization.
In the recent years, more males have become involved in and interested
in the organization. Driven by the real-world needs and the changing
reality of male and female roles in society, FHA's programs now include
areas such as financial management, career planning, the art of balancing
family and career; therefore the name was changed to Family, Career, Community Leaders
of America to more accurately reflect the organization's mission. Student
involvement is at the heart of FCCLA--They plan, carry out and evaluate
projects and activities themselves. Through FCCLA projects--simple or
complex, short-term or long term--students sort out thoughts, analyze
situations, set goals, interact with others, apply classroom knowledge,
and become strong and affective leaders.
Cheerleading
Lakeside High School boasts a very active cheerleading program. The
squads are selected to represent the school spirit and colors at
athletic events. This is an extremely talented, fun and hard-working
group who dedicates hours
every week to practice and train for their cheers, stunts, and dances.
Ignite
Lakeside
freshmen get extra time, attention, and advice through our freshmen transition
program Ignite. "Our goal is to build relationships quickly so that freshmen
feel connected to Lakeside," explained Ignite Advisor Tim Cruger. "Students
who are connected to their school will do better socially and
academically." Ignite
assigns prescreened upper class students to every single freshman. These
mentors meet regularly with their "mentees" to build positive relationships and
to check on school life and class work. Ignite activities range from just having fun together to serious
discussions about safe alternatives to parties, drinking, and drugs.

Knowledge
Bowl
travels across the state competing with other schools
in academic contests.
Math
Team
The
math team is a group of mathematically inclined students who will,
by using their superb arithmetic skills,
compete in several competitions against other schools throughout
the year. The
competitions are concentrated in the areas of pre-calculus, trigonometry,
and advanced algebra.
At the competition, the students first take an individual test to
detect their general math skill. After the time limit expires, the
team competition starts. During the competition, the
students split into their separate small teams and compete against
another school in a contest focused on speed.
International Club
The
Lakeside High School International Club was formed in order to provide
an opportunity for students to learn about other countries, their
cultures and the people. The exchange students are an essential part of
the Club, as they are called upon to share information about their
countries. The Club plans activities such as international dinners,
dancing, and field-trips to participate in international community
festivities.

a non-profit organization dedicated to build safe and healthy communities.
WDFY offers youth, in grades 7-12, an incentive to become or remain
drug free through positive reinforcement by giving them the

as the Explorer Scouts. WDFY
receives its testing through generous donations from Deaconess Medical
Centers, Sacred Heart Medical Center, Holy Family Hospital, and the
Valley Hospital and Medical Center. |
