driving under the influence of alcohol. All activities promote a healthy, safe environment of working
together and having fun without chemical influences. All students are welcome to join SADD.

The Spanish Club offers its membership an opportunity to experience additional cultural activities outside
the classroom. The membership is comprised of all students currently enrolled in the Spanish III and
Spanish IV classes.
Norwin Student Council
Student Council, one of the most active organizations at the high school, sponsors Homecoming, The
Breakfast with Disney, and the Senior Citizens Dinner. Student Council “does it all.” It conducts new
student orientation, serves as the hosts for Open House, sponsors dances and assemblies, supports
school and community causes, and represents the student body at Norwin School Board Meetings.
Class Officers (Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors)
All officers are the center around which all class functions are planned. Every officer must be willing to
contribute his or her time and be willing to do a lot of hard work. Students should not run for an office
because they feel it will provide them with special privileges or “status.” Those elected officers not
carrying out the responsibilities of the office, or who’s conduct in or out of school does not meet the
standards of the office, may be removed from said office.
Requirements for Class Officers:
Must presently have at least a 70% grade average in each individual subject and maintain it
throughout the term of the office.
Cannot have severe disciplinary action (such as suspension or expulsion) taken against you.
Should not have exceeded ten (10) days of absence in the current school year unless there
are
unusual circumstances.
Cannot be president of any other club or organization (senior class president only).
Failure to comply with these rules is cause for removal from office at the discretion of the
faculty
advisor and building principal.
A runner-up will be named for each office in the event that the elected officer fails to perform
his
or her duties or in the event that the officer withdraws from school for any reason.
Campaign Rules:
No signs or poster will be used in the school or on school property.
Students are permitted to make buttons or badges for their campaigning that may be worn
by other students.
Campaign materials must be of a nature that request support for your candidacy without
disparaging anyone else.
