About this club:  The purpose of the Art Club is to promote a growing appreciation for art in our school and community.  Art Club is an opportunity for high school students to meet and work on special art projects and share experiences with their peers. Art Club gives students an opportunity to further explore other media and art making processes that are not covered in the regular art curriculum.  It is a great opportunity for like-minded students to come together and create! 

Club Activities:  Each year the art club takes a field trip to the Appalachian Center for Craft, in which students select an art workshop in either wood, clay, glass, metals, or fibers for the day. The art club participates in the Sip & Saveur event in downtown McMinnville and displays their artwork at City Hall for the community to view. Throughout the year, students can select to participate in after-school art activities and art competitions.

Pioneer Battalion Jr. Reserve Officer Training Corp

The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) came into being with the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916. Under the provisions of the Act, high schools were authorized the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel as instructors. There was a condition that the instructors follow a prescribed course of training and maintain a minimum enrollment of 100 students over the age of 14 years who were US citizens. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who worked for and were cost shared by the schools. Title 10 of the U.S. Code declares that "the purpose of Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment."

The JROTC Program has changed greatly over the years. Once looked upon primarily as a source of enlisted recruits and officer candidates, it became a citizenship program devoted to the moral, physical and educational uplift of American youth. Although the program retained its military structure and the resultant ability to infuse in its student cadets a sense of discipline and order, it shed most of its early military content.

The study of ethics, citizenship, communications, leadership, life skills and other subjects designed to prepare young men and woman to take their place in adult society, evolved as the core of the program. More recently, an improved student centered curriculum focusing on character building and civic responsibility is being presented in every JROTC classroom.

JROTC is a continuing success story. From a modest beginning of 6 units in 1916, JROTC has expanded to over 1600 schools today and to every state in the nation and American schools overseas. Cadet enrollment has grown to 273,000 cadets with 3,900 professional instructors in the classrooms. Comprised solely of active duty Army retirees, the JROTC instructors serve as mentors developing the outstanding young citizens of our country.

Criteria for Membership:

Scholarship – Candidates must have completed their first semester of their junior year with the cumulative unweighted grade point average of 3.75 or above as identified by the Warren County High School Guidance Department.

Character – Candidates must demonstrate elements of good character. A person of good character demonstrates the following six qualities: respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

Leadership – Candidates must demonstrate leadership in school and community organizations. This leadership may be either elected positions or effective participation in extracurricular sports and activities.

Application Process

Each spring new members are inducted into the Warren County High School Chapter of the National Honor
Society. They are chosen through the process outlined below and honored at an Induction Ceremony which
celebrates their achievements.

1) The National Honor Society Advisor receives a list of all juniors with an overall unweighted GPA of
3.75 or better after the second quarter (in January). Attendance and discipline are checked in
Skyward.

2) The advisor then distributes invitations for an informational meeting to each of those students who
qualify.

3) The meeting will explain the application process. Only students who request an application via
interest card at the meeting will be given an application (in February).

4) The advisor prints the number of applications needed and distributes applications to those students
who submitted an interest card. To be selected, students must show a significant commitment to
service, leadership, and character. If a student does not list service or leadership activities, as well
as exhibit good character, they will not be admitted to the National Honor Society. Scholarship is
determined solely by the student’s GPA and is not further reviewed by the Selection Committee.

5) Students submit completed applications to the advisor by the deadline (in March).

6) The 5 -person Selection Committee (chosen by the principal) reviews and scores the applications.
The scores are averaged. Any student meeting the average score or above is invited to join NHS.

7) Decisions (acceptance or rejection) are given to the students in the form of a letter from the
National Honor Society Advisor (in March).

8) The annual National Honor Society Induction Ceremony takes place in early April.
