It Is Time to Get Involved!<br />
by Jaisle Bailey<br />
News Editor<br />
Freshman year is the year to take advantage of all of the different things <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> offers whether it is sports or clubs. <strong>High</strong> school is a very important time in your life<br />
because you begin to discover yourself and discover your passions. <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> offers various courses, clubs, and sports to allow you to do so.<br />
Mrs. Ratcliff, the freshman counselor, says, ―I think it is very important for students to be involved at <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. RHS has so many different clubs and organizations<br />
that there are plenty of ways for a student to get plugged in during their four years of high school. As freshman counselor, I try to help all of my students find what it<br />
is that they need to do as an ―extra‖ while at RHS. Being involved makes high school more fun and is a great way to meet different people.‖<br />
So take advantage of these wonderful opportunities and get involved!<br />

<strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> offers a variety of clubs to the students. If you enjoy the arts, such as photography, writing, or art, then you should join Resume’, <strong>Chatterbox</strong>, or Art Club.<br />
There are a selection of sports clubs to choose from such as Bearcat Belles, BUMS, Cheerleaders, Pepettes, and Pom Pon Girls. The academic clubs include Debate Team,<br />
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), FFA, Pre College Initiative (PCI), Young Lawyers, and Science Club. If you are in French, Spanish, or German, there is a foreign<br />
language club for your foreign language class that you will be allowed to join. If you are interested in helping others, there is Key Club, National Honors Society, Keywanettes,<br />
and 4-H. Many of the clubs I just mentioned combine service and academics. There are two Christian based clubs which are First Priority and Fellowship of Christian<br />
Athletes. An abstinence club called LYFE is also offered. If you have taken a home economics course, you will be allowed to join Family, Community, and Career Leaders<br />
