Sequoyah Schools Student Clubs and Organizations

Students at Sequoyah Schools have the opportunity to participate in numerous extracurricular activities, clubs and organizations.  Many of these organizations incorporate the Native American culture, service learning opportunities, school spirit activities, as well as educational aspects such as the STEM initiative.

AISES- American Indian Science and Engineering Society
Since 1977, AISES has worked to substantially increase American Indian/Alaska Native representation in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields-as students, professionals, mentors, and leaders.  The Sequoyah Chapter of AISES endeavors to support and give direction to our students and encourage them to pursue opportunities in the technical fields from an area that is unrepresented, Native American Indians.  We do support activities, fun activities and provide support to those students interested in the technical fields.
 
Student Council
The Sequoyah Schools Student Council is comprised of 7th-12th grade students representing each grade level and all clubs and organizations.  Student Council is involved in numerous activities throughout the year such as Homecoming, social events, Christmas Tree decorating, Parent Night, and blood drives.  The members also participated in several service projects that benefit the school and the community.

 National Honor Society
The Sequoyah Schools Chapter of the National Honor Society consists of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who meet the four ideals of the society:  Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service.  Each member must uphold these ideals throughout the school year to be in good standing with the society.  The Sequoyah Schools Chapter partake in several service projects throughout the year.  These projects include the Veteran's Day Assembly, NHS Induction Ceremony, Sequoyah Alumni Banquet, Northeastern State University Service Sunday, Reading Buddies as well as other events that the school and community gain from.

iREAD Book Club
Do you have a passion to read? Do you enjoy sharing this passion with your peers?  Then the iREAD Book Club is for you!  The book club meets twice a month to discuss the book selection of the month.  This is a great opportunity for students to be exposed to different authors and genre that they may not normally select.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes/Students (FCA/FCS)
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is touching millions of lives... one heart at a time. Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in America. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ. Three years ago, the students at Sequoyah Schools made a conscientious decision to expand the organization to any student on the Sequoyah campus who desired to make an impact on the campus for Jesus Christ.  Since that time it has been named FCA/FCS. Meetings take place twice a month on the Sequoyah campus, with student-elected officers leading the group.  Activities also include Meet at the Fifty during the football season, and See You At The Pole, an FCA/FCS sponsored event, which is attended by the student body.  Rev. Todd Dowty serves at the school chaplain, and Mrs. Augusta Smith and Mr. Dewayne Hammer serve as volunteer school faculty/staff sponsors. 

Academic Team
 The purpose of the OSSAA Academic Bowl is to enhance the learning and intellectual pursuit of Oklahomastudents. The competition will assist learners in appreciating the opportunities of advancing their knowledge.  Sequoyah Schools' Academic Team practices on a weekly basis in the school's library.  All students enjoy participating in the event.
