Fund-raising Activities Our Student Council, clubs and organizations participate in many fundraising activities during the year to raise money to carry out the many activities they sponsor during the school year. We monitor academic progress and attendance to identify students who are potential school dropouts. In addition, we provide opportunities for student leadership in school. A Wednesday Study Hall is held for students with a 1.49 GPA or less. A comprehensive co-curricular program and a noontime intramural program give each student an opportunity to find positive outlets for personal growth.
Clubs also offer students with special interests time to get together on a regular basis.
Through our Student Council, students develop leadership skills and the ability to make decisions and plan programs. Our Drug Team focuses on drug awareness and drug education. We celebrated Red Ribbon Week and held activities to help students make the right decisions about drugs and alcohol. Teachers of Skills for Adolescence classes teach a drug unit on refusal skills. Staff Professional Development Newark Junior High School has a quality instructional staff.
