Student Interest Groups

What Are Student Interest Groups?

Student Interest Groups at Harrison are student-initiated and teacher-supported, giving students meaningful opportunities to explore their interests beyond the traditional classroom. From trading Pokémon cards and crafting to board games and the Multicultural Student Organization, each group offers a space for creativity, connection, and fun. These clubs help students build friendships, develop leadership skills, and strengthen teamwork, communication, and problem-solving — all while doing what they love in a supportive environment.

Harrison Student Interest Group Guidelines

All student interest groups must have a current flyer posted on the bulletin board in the main hallway to advertise the information. A take-home flyer can be made to put in the organizer next to the bulletin board for students to take home to their parents.
All flyers must be approved by the staff sponsor prior to being posted on the bulletin board and put in the organizer next to the bulletin board.
The front office will hang the flyer on the board and make copies of the take-home flyer.
Parent permission via Parent Square is required to join. It must be submitted before students can attend the meeting. Membership in the student interest groups is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Anyone can join, but there can be a max number allowed in the student interest groups.
The maximum number is to be determined by the staff sponsor.
There will be no applications for membership in the student interest groups.
There will be no meeting location changes without prior approval from the staff sponsor.
NO money can be collected for any student interest groups. Any outside presenter must be approved by the principal 1 week prior to the presentation.
The presenter may only interact with the Student Interest Group. GUEST SPEAKER REQUEST FORM
