Organizations and Activities

School Board

The school board by its nature acts as advisor to the principal and administrative team. The school board is concerned with school policy and not with the administration of policy. If parents have questions they wish the school board to consider, they should contact their parish representative. The parish representative will present the question at a regular school board meeting. A parent concerned with a school policy can appear before the school board to express his or her concern. The request to appear before the board must be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the school board meeting. The request must be addressed to the president of the school board who will review the matter, and will determine whether it is a question of policy or of administration of policy. The president of the board will notify the parents of her/his decision. If the matter involves school policy, the president of the board will notify the parents that the matter will be placed on the agenda. Questions may be addressed to:

President, Badin School Board

SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS ARE HELD THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING MONTHS: SEPTEMBER, NOVEMBER, JANUARY, MARCH, and MAY @ 7:00 PM IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.

 

 

Catham Club

The purpose of the Catham Club is to financially support all Badin athletic programs. This is achieved by a variety of fund-raising activities throughout the year.

ALL MEETINGS ARE HELD ON THE SECOND MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT 7:30 P.M. IN THE CAFETERIA.

Band Boosters

The Badin Band Boosters are the support arm for the activities of the band and color guard. The boosters meet all of the financial needs of these groups including transportation, music, instruments, equipment and uniforms. They provide for physical needs as well, from chaperones to equipment movers. Most importantly, they are the spirited support for the performing members of band and guard, attending functions to cheer and applaud the strong efforts of the band and guard students.

 

ALL BAND BOOSTER MEETINGS TAKE PLACE ON THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 7:00 P.M. IN THE FACULTY DINING ROOM.

Student Council

Student Council serves as a communication link among the administration, faculty, and students in offering an exchange of ideas. As the largest student representative organization at Badin High School, Student Council consists of: class representatives, four class officers from each class; members-at-large from each organization; and five Student Council officers. Elections are held in early spring; special elections are held in the fall for the freshmen. Meetings, which are conducted by the Student Council president according to a planned agenda, are held twice a month after school. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings.

Student Council oversees many activities; however, Student Council may not commit the school, its facilities, or personnel without the approval of the proper authority.

Executive Board

The Executive Board consists of the principal, assistant principal, faculty moderators of the Student Council and each of the four classes, Student Council officers and the four class presidents. At these meetings, certain school rules and regulations are formed and/or reviewed, activities are evaluated, and various issues of policy or improvement which affect the school are discussed. Board members have equal voting strength. The principal may veto any decision.
