Student activities were established almost simultaneously with the founding of the school. The trademark of New Trier’s Student Activities Program is its profound depth and breadth. There is an opportunity for every New Trier student who chooses to become involved. Many organizations have a history and tradition upon which they continue to build and grow. Other clubs have been formed more recently to meet the ever-changing interests of today’s students. New Trier is fortunate that the community, administration and Board of Education foster and support such a comprehensive and progressive Student Activities Program. An integral part of New Trier’s heart, soul and conscience, Student Activities is one of those unique New Trier hallmarks that set the institution apart. Gone are the days when activities are considered “extra” and insular. The student (and adult) culture overwhelmingly endorses a relevant Student Activities Program that increasingly takes them (and New Trier) “outside” into such realms as interscholastic competition, peer support, social service, political activism, social activism, issue awareness, and social/emotional enrichment. Our Student Activities Program has not only become a model for the state, but for the nation. When it comes to participation and support for Student Activities, students are voting with their feet by joining our groups in record numbers and by advocating for new initiatives through our club chartering process. They are also voting with their voices through their responses to the ECGC survey, which ranks Student Activities as a primary area where students learn lessons related to our core values and implement all parts of our school motto. Exclusive of the opportunities in athletics, intramurals and performing arts, there are more than 150 different extra-curricular activities at the Winnetka Campus. These range from student government to competitive academic teams to publication, political/activist, ethnic/cultural or special interest clubs. The Northfield campus has more than 20 clubs that meet regularly. Northfield students are welcome to join clubs on the Winnetka Campus as well. Behind these active groups is a cadre of dedicated sponsors who are truly interested in providing students with an educational experience, one that broadens their involvement and enriches their lives. During each school year, the officers and heads of school organizations receive formal and informal training in leadership skills. Additionally, whether at monthly Winnetka Campus Club Head Luncheons, Activity Leadership Practicum, the Winnetka Student Activities Banquet and/or other venues, activity officers and boards have the opportunity to meet with leaders from other New Trier clubs and organizations. For students (with sponsor guidance), the student-driven avenue for pursuing dreams, addressing issues and implementing initiatives is the Student Activities Program. With its diverse offerings and reputation for supporting new proposals, Student Activities epitomizes a Climate of Exploration. oRGanIZaTIons anD ClUbs Extra-curricular offerings and organizations are listed on the following pages with the names of New Trier staff head sponsors and the campus where meetings are held. Logistical information regarding club meetings can be found on the Activities homepage under the respective campus’s “Club Info” link. The staff sponsors welcome parent inquiries. Based on where the club meets, questions may also be directed to the Student Activities Coordinator for that campus. Contact information for the coordinators is listed on the left. New clubs may be started if a sufficient group of students has a particular interest and a sponsor is available. Students should meet with the appropriate Student Activities Coordinator to discuss ideas for new clubs and to learn about the application process. In providing students the access and support to envision, develop and implement endeavors with far reaching internal and external influence, New Trier empowers students to act. soCIal aCTIVITIes & awaReness eVenTs Under the supervision of adult sponsors, students plan school social activities and awareness events. Such extra-curricular happenings are usually sponsored by class steering committees, which organize social functions for their respective year groups, or other student organizations. The online Activities calendar displays the dates and times of key events. The sponsoring organization is responsible for publicizing time, place, cost and other pertinent information. Students who are not actively involved in the day-to-day decision-making and planning of club or class events are able to take advantage of the special activities planned for them such as Band-Aid, Roots of New Trier, awareness days, speaker forums, Winter Carnival, Junior/Senior Prom, Freshman Mixers, and the Homecoming and Turnabout dances.
