Clubs at Cranberry Part 2
With all of the clubs at Cranberry, it’s important to know who can join what. Clubs may have special requirements that must be met in order to join them such as National Honor Society. Requirements for each club can be found by asking the club’s adviser, who is often a staff member.
Clubs are a great way for students to get involved, so it is important that all students have a chance to join.
In the words of Cranberry’s principal, Mr. Smith, “Any club that has an adviser and meets at the school is open to students.”
There are necessary conditions for every student to be involved in a club. Students cannot be failing a class and still be actively participating in a club when they could be using that time to study and bring up their grades.

Everyone who is a student of Cranberry may participate, and this includes those who attend Vo-tech. However it may seem, it is actually simple to keep actively involved in a club if you put in the work.
Although there are clubs for just about everything here at Cranberry, there may be something that you think needs a club. If you have an idea for a club, make sure that you have a purpose along with an overview, bylaws, regular meetings, and officers with duties for the club.
The overview of the club would be presented to the school board where it would be decided if the club should be made official.
There are many things altogether involved in being a part of a club. These small details could be the type of club it is or even the requirements that you need to meet to join. Also know that some have revolving membership, meaning that you can join at anytime throughout the year, and other must be joined at a particular time in the year. With this in mind, go check out a club you’ll enjoy and have fun!
