Organizations

Student Council
Student Council exists to represent the students to the administration and to plan fun social activities for the students. It consists of two elected members from every grade as well as a middle school vice president, an upper school vice president, and the Student Body president. The group meets once a week to discuss students' issues and to work on the next fun activity. In the past, Student Council has planned movie nights, game nights, dances, pep rallies and other outings. Serving in Student Council gives students an opportunity to learn organizational and leadership skills and to work with students from other grades.

National Honor Society
The National Honor Society (NHS) is one of the oldest and largest recognition programs for high school students in grades 10-12 in the United States of America. NHS honors those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Menaul School's organization is the Gladys E. Brown Chapter of the NHS. Students with a GPA of 3.5 or better are invited to be reviewed for membership by a faculty council that selects members after reading their resumes and letters of recommendation. Members are inducted in a traditional candle-lighting ceremony.

One to One Partnering Program
In an effort to make English as a Second Language (ESL) more fun and engaging, ESL teacher, Irene Loy, has created the One to One Partnering Program. The program is designed to match a foreign student with a domestic student and bridge the gap of learning another language and culture. Each pair of students participate in meetings, events on campus and in the community together. Open to all upper school students.

Junior Civitan
Dean Eric Moses hosts the Junior Civitan, which is a community service organization for students. Junior Civitan members seek to meet the needs of our world and promote progress in a world of change.
