Clubs & Activities

At South Career and Technical Academy, we believe that student involvement in clubs and extracurricular activities enhances both personal and academic development. Our clubs are designed to complement the rigorous academic and technical training offered in our programs, allowing students to gain leadership experience, teamwork skills, and opportunities for competition and recognition.

Since each club is unique, sign-ups and meeting dates are determined by active club participants and the advisor. Questions regarding a particular club should be made to the club advisor directly.

How to Start a Club

At South Career and Technical Academy, we want all students to be able to participate in a club or activity where they feel the most comfortable. In the Clark County School District, there are two types of clubs:

  • Curriculum Related - These District-sponsored activities align with the curriculum. These activities need a faculty advisor.
  • Non-Curriculum Related -  These non-sponsored activities are student initiated and operated by students at South CTA. These activities need a nonparticipating faculty member for safety purposes.
Steps to Start a Club
  1. Decide a general idea of what your student organization will consist of. This might be defining the "why" for your group.
  2. Create a mission statement. Keep it to 2-3 sentences just to present.
  3. Secure a faculty advisor or a nonparticipating faculty member, as applicable. You can do this by speaking to any faculty member to determine if they would be the advisor/nonparticipating faculty member.
  4. With your advisor, create a Constitution. (Must be logged into your CCSD Account to access)
    1. Some things you'll need to consider are:
      1. Purpose, objective and general activities
      2. Membership qualifications
      3. Officer positions, duties and election process
      4. Determine how often and when your group will meet
  5. Working with your advisor or nonparticipating faculty member, submit a Charter Application.
  6. The advisor or nonparticipating faculty member and president will sign the Charter Application and submit to the Activities Office. 
  7. The Constitution and Application are routed by the Activities Office to Student Council for adoption as a student organization.
  8. Once adopted by Student Council, the Constitution and Application is returned to the Activities Office for approval by school administration. 
  9. Once approved...you're done! Be sure to follow your Constitution. Any advertising you wish to post in the school must be approved by the Activities Office.
