Introduction+&+Philosophy

INTRODUCTION The key to success for Student Activities is student leadership, interest, involvement and participation. All clubs and organizations will be formed, developed, governed and administered by the student membership club or organization working in conjunction with the Duval County Public Schools Policies and Procedures. William M. Raines Senior High School will promote student participation in a variety of activities to give students opportunities to engage in the activity of their choice at various levels, contribute to the development of student leadership and provide a bond between individual clubs and organizations. The Student Activities Director will assist in the development and growth of the clubs and organizations to make sure that all clubs and organizations are successful and students are interested and involved.

PHILOSOPHY William M. Raines offers its students opportunities and a variety of choices, one of which is the choice of becoming an active part in our school organizations. To make that choice an exciting and fulfilling one, I assure you that we will do whatever we can do to tempt our students with many exciting diverse organizations, friendly surroundings, and an inviting atmosphere. Our focus is on the student. Our organizations are designed to educate, enlighten, challenge, introduce and build the opportunities for William M. Raines Senior High to become an essential part of your education. I wish you the best in your educational experiences, both inside and outside the classroom.

Because our Students………….

Because our students have a need, we have a job to do. Because our students have a choice, we must be the preferred choice. Because our students have feelings, we must be considerate. Because our students have an immediate need, we must be timely. Because our students are unique, we must be flexible. Because our students have high expectations, we must excel. Because our students have influence, our reputation is in their hands.

Because of our Students, we exist.
