MAKE A CONNECTION—MAKE A DIFFERENCE—GET INVOLVED
NEWS FROM THE ACTIVITIES OFFICE

The Eaglecrest Activities Office wishes to extend a warm welcome to all our returning Raptors as well as those new to Eaglecrest, especially our Class of 2015! Eaglecrest is a large school, and a benefit of that are the many opportunities for students to get involved. All students can find their special niche here where they can pursue their passions and interests!


When you participate in something that interests you, you make a difference in the lives of others as well as benefiting yourself. Eaglecrest students are our future leaders, and we want to help you become successful. Getting involved and making a connection with an adult here at school is the avenue to having a positive high school experience beyond the classroom.

Students can make a significant impact in their high school career—and these experiences carry over into adulthood—by getting involved. Parents, please encourage your sons/daughters to get involved in a sport or an activity! Research indicates that students who feel a connection to their school and who get involved in extracurricular activities will be more successful academically as well as being more social and civic minded. Our clubs, activities, and athletics promote leadership opportunities, school and community service opportunities, and the ability to make new friendships with peers and adults. Students and parents often ask, “What is the best way to meet new friends in high school?” The answer is simple—join a club and attend school-sponsored events; be part of our Raptor school spirit and pride. REMEMBER—your four years here are but a short time when compared to the benefits you receive for the rest of your life by GETTING INVOLVED!

Here are some quotes from adults at Eaglecrest encouraging students to get involved:

Clubs and activities are places where Eaglecrest students express themselves in ways far beyond the traditional high school curriculum. EHS clubs and activities really help people with similar interests connect!

The more you invest in school activities, the more important your school work becomes to you.

Participating in a club makes high school more fun. It is an opportunity to make friends and, at the same time, make a difference in your school and community.

You only get to experience high school life once! Make the most of it in everything you do! Your involvement—both in and out of the classroom—is what makes Eaglecrest great.

Getting involved is what creates our dynamic school culture.

September is Club Recruitment and Get Involved month. Students, consider joining one of the 52 clubs and honor societies. Listen for announcements and watch for signs advertising when clubs are meeting. A complete listing is available in the Activities Office where we also have a Club Quilt containing notecards that list the time and dates that all clubs meet.

If you have any questions, visit us or call us at 886-1226. Lynn Tozier, the Activities Secretary, is available to help, or you may email Kelly Snell, Activities Director, at ksnellcherrycreekschools.org.

Demonstrate your R*A*P*T*O*R Way through Activities:

Respect

by stretching outside of your comfort zone (if that is what it takes) to get involved in a club that interests you and for which you have a passion, you are respecting yourself and will develop a newfound respect for new friends and adults at EHS.

Achievement

it is a proven fact that the more you are involved in your school, the better your grades and academic achievements will be.

Pride

By getting involved and participating in school events, EHS will become your second home where you can continually demonstrate your spirit, pride, and loyalty!

Teamwork

making new friends in and out of the classroom grows your circle of friends and support systems. Friendships are an important asset in high school so you have people to have fun with and to study with.

Opportunity

there are priceless opportunities you will have being a part of a club. You can be part of a planning committee, take part in school activities, develop your leadership skills, speak in front of groups, earn awards, receive recognitions, create and organize school events, participate in community events; whatever it is you get involved in will expand your repertoire of skills and opportunities for college and beyond.

Responsibility

as a high school young adult, you will recognize and demonstrate responsible actions, words, choices, friendships, and successes.
