Seton Academy Extra-Curricular Programs 2010-11
 
Seton Academy Clubs and Activities are available for all Seton Academy students. Over 70% of Seton Academy students are involved in at least one club. During "Club Week" in September students learn more information about each club from current members and moderators. For more information regarding these activities please contact the moderator.
 

Ambassadors Club

The Student Ambassadors Club (SAC) offers a voluntary initiative for students who are specially trained to present Seton Academy to external visitors by providing tours of the campus, hosting guests, assisting the Office of Institutional Advancement with special events, assisting faculty and staff in the implementation of public events, and assisting the Admissions Representative at school visits. SAC offers its members the opportunity to participate in highly profiled events at Seton Academy, and the responsibility to positively interact with the entire student body. SAC members are vital to our Shadow Day program. They play a key role during large events when special guests visit Seton Academy including alumni, donors, community members, current Seton families, and prospective families.

 

Art/Photography Club
This club meets once per week.  Our meetings provide a time, space, and supplies for students to create art.  Every week we have a theme - meaning that we decide as a group to work on only ceramics, only drawing, only painting, etc.  We discuss at each meeting our plans for the following week.  As a group, we will come up with ideas of how to beautify our school with artwork/and or murals.  We also work with other organizations within the school that need our help.  (Examples: we created posters for a Parent Club event, and we will be working with Student Council to help them create decorations for Homecoming that correlate with the theme this year)

 

Campus Ministry
This club meets about 3-4 times per month.  Students will be skilled and taught how to be effective student minister leaders.  They will plan liturgies, prayer services, retreats, and other Campus Ministry events for the entire school.
 
Cyber Cafe
Focuses on social interaction and exploring new ways to use our computers by playing games. The Cyber Cafe encourages students to further fellowship and community
 
Drama
Develops acting skills of Seton Academy students. Seton performs a fall play and spring musical every school year. Visit our Fine Arts page to find out more!   Stage techs are the backstage support for any activity in the theatre. Students create sets for the plays and musicals, and assist in lighting for productions. Students learn how to build sets for the spring musical revue and do backstage work for the parent club fashion show. 
 
Environmental Club
This club meets about once a month.  We will work with the school to make the student body more "green" conscious by holding special events. (We had a representative from the Alliance for Climate Education give a presentation to the student body, and we will plan an event for Earth Day).  We will be discussing how to execute a plan to recycle more at Seton this year as well.
 
Music/Choir
Students have the option to participate in band courses throughout the school day. Students also participate in before and after school events such as drumline, musicals, concerts, jazz band, and choir. 
 
National English Honor Society (NEHS)
The National English Honor Society (NEHS) is an honor bestowed on students selected for their accomplishments in the field of English and in overall academic achievements. NEHS provides recognition for past achievements, the nurturing of present interests, and encouragement for future success. NEHS is the organization for students who have experienced the power of literature, the pleasures of good writing, and the excitement of language studies.
 
National Honor Society (NHS)
National Honor Society is an educational organization in which students are invited to become members based on their overall grade and commitment to leadership and service. The purpose of the NHS is four fold: 1)to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, 2)to stimulate a desire to render service, 3)to promote leadership, and 4)to develop character.
 
Praise Dancers
Praise Dancers use dance as a form of prayer to enhance the liturgies and masses of the Seton Faith Community. They also dance at selected assemblies and concerts.
 
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD)
Students Against Destructive Decisions meets 3-4 times a month to plan activities and events that will promote certain topics such as being Drug Free, alcohol free, tobacco free, and other destructive decisions that students are faced with.  SADD helps to promote activities like Red Ribbon Week and some events that help guard against drunk driving in the spring before Prom.
 

Student Council

Student council meets every week as the Executive Board members and once a month as an entire Student Council (Exec Board, Class Officers, Homeroom Representatives, Club Representatives).  The Student Council is the governing body for the students of Seton Academy.  They will plan extracurricular events such as Homecoming, Spirit Week, fundraisers, and other events.  Student Government provides leadership to the student body. They maintain and encourage student involvement, school spirit, and school sponsored activities and also promote an understanding and cooperation among students, faculty, staff, and administration. Student Government provides students with events related to community, faith, and leadership that allow students to come together as a community, build relationships, and support a positive school environment. Their goals support social caring and responsibility and allow students to develop as people and spiritually by participating in community building activities.
 
World Languages Club
This club is a combination of French and Spanish Club. The club goal is to allow students to experience and embrace the French and Spanish cultures through various activities. Activities such as building the altar for Dia de los Muertos, the tostada sale, and a trip to a Mexican restaurant help the students to embrace the Latino culture. The activities of Pere Noel and a trip to a French restaurant also aid in teaching the students about the French culture. Many of the French and Latino activities and holiday celebrations are based on spiritual beliefs and faith. Members of the World Languages Club support students' cultural growth.
