List of AJHS Activities

 

The following clubs and activities are available to AJHS students. The points indicated are to be used by sponsors of these activities to determine eligibility for membership in the NJHS. Points are not awarded simply for membership in these activities, but are awarded on the basis of level of participation as determined by the club sponsors. Point values are determined by the number of hours each activity meets beyond the school day.

 

Full participation for the duration of the activity or sport is required to earn the 1, 2, or 3 possible points.  For 1-point activities, no points will be given for less than full participation. For 2 or 3 point activities, the sponsor or coach will decide on points that have been earned. Students should learn from their activity sponsor or coach the requirements for “full participation”.
