Extracurricular Activities, Clubs, and Organizations
Who may participate in extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations, and what rules apply?
Participation in school-related activities is an excellent way for a student to develop talents, receive individual recognition, and build strong friendships with other students. Participation, however, is a privilege and not a right. Eligibility for participation in many school-related activities is governed by state law and rules of the UIL, a statewide association overseeing interscholastic competition between public schools. Additional information regarding extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations may be obtained from the principal or designee.
Participation in these activities may result in events that occur off-campus. Students are required to use the transportation provided by LTS to and from the event, and exceptions may only be made with approval from the activity’s coach or sponsor.
Please note: Sponsors of student clubs and performing groups such as the band, choir, and drill and athletic teams may establish standards of behavior—including consequences for misbehavior—that are stricter than those for students in general. If a violation of organization rules is also a violation of school rules, the consequences specified by the Student Code of Conduct or by local policy will apply, in addition to any consequences specified by the organization.
