Opportunities for Involvement, Leadership, and Service
Students are encouraged to join and create clubs and groups that reflect their interests. For this reason, the mixture of clubs and activities at Rivermont changes annually. Below is an incomplete list of examples.
National Honor Society
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation’s premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character (and citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organizations since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929. (source: www.nhs.us)
Upper School Stewardship Council and Middle School Student Council
The US Stewardship Council and MS Student Council provide the main forum for discussing student concerns and ideas and are dedicated to developing leadership skills and enhancing student life. Council members interact with faculty, staff, and administrators to represent and serve the needs of the student body by coordinating student activities and service projects.
Rivermont has a Lower School Student Council, a Middle School Student Council, and an Upper School Student Council.
Yearbook
Upper School students have an opportunity to express their creativity by being part of the team that publishes our award-winning annual yearbook. The yearbook staff is charged with documenting a year in the life of Rivermont through photos, illustration, and writing. Students learn professional publication skills including editing, proofreading, digital imaging, and document layout.
Partner Clubs
Rivermont also has a number of partner clubs within the community to provide students with easy access to programs like chess classes or Brownie and Girl Scout troops. Information about these community programs is available on the student activities board in Becherer Hall.
Rivermont also currently has a Red Cross Club and Quizbowl Team
