Committees and Clubs
The High School Government encompasses student-run Committees which have been created to work on a specific task or agenda. Their focus can be on a publication (e.g. the school newspaper The Daltonian or the literary magazine Blue Flag), a school wide social event (e.g. the Performing Arts Committee organizing PHASE, a student talent show, or ISAC arranging the Winter Formal and the Prom), or on more global issues (e.g. the Environment Committee or HOLA, a student group committed to promoting Hispanic culture). Each committee is headed by up to three students and is advised by a High School faculty member.
In addition to established Committees, many students form clubs around special interests (e.g. D.A.A.L.A.S, the Israel Club, or the Asian Culture Club). New clubs are always encouraged but may only be created through the procedures outlined in the Formation of Committees and Clubs section of the Student Handbook. If a club maintains a strong membership and focus, the heads may apply for elevation to Committee status, entitling the group to Cabinet representation and Government funding.
