RHS Clubs - New Club Proposal

Interested in Starting a New Club at RHS?

Great! Here’s how to get started.

Do you have an original club idea that isn’t already offered? First, check the RHS Clubs site to see our current list.

Please note: There is a process to begin a new club; more information will be in the announcements. At this time, there are two interest meetings a semester, and attendance is mandatory. We encourage students to consider student-led clubs that focus on volunteer service, student interest, and are student-led.

If your idea meets these guidelines, follow the new club process steps below to begin the new club approval process.

Please complete this form, NEW CLUB INFORMATION meeting, if you would like to learn more about starting a new club at RHS for the 25-26 school year. It is required to complete this form to attend one of the informational meetings and be considered to start a New Club. Thank you!

STEP 1- HAVE AN UNIQUE CLUB IDEA THAT IS NON-COMPETITIVE

Check out the RHS Clubs page to ensure your idea is original.

STEP 2- FIND A RHS TEACHER CLUB SPONSOR

Before proposing a new club, you must secure a Rouse teacher to serve as your club sponsor. It’s important to begin this step early to ensure you have enough time to find a willing sponsor.
A sponsor must be confirmed before you attend the New Club Proposal Meeting.

STEP 3- ATTEND AN OFFICIAL CLUB MEETING

Mandatory meetings for students interested in proposing a new club will be offered in the Fall Semester. Meeting dates will be announced during Advocate prior to each session.
During the meeting, important information about the new club proposal process will be shared, including expectations and guidelines. Students whose club ideas meet the criteria will be invited to complete the New Club Proposal Form.

STEP 4- SUBMIT A NEW CLUB PROPOSAL FORM (Form will be emailed to you)

STEP 5- APPROVAL COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW (You will be notified via email)

Questions to consider prior to attending the New Club Proposal meeting:

Is my new club proposal unique and not similar to something that is already offered at RHS?

Will I have at least 10 club participants?

Do I have a dependable Rouse Teacher Sponsor who will attend all of the meetings and events?

Will my club be able to attend all of the mandatory club school events? (only 3 per year)

Do I have the time to dedicate to a new club if I'm already a member of several clubs?

Will this club be able to carry on for the next couple of years?
