Get involved in one of the many clubs and
student organizations that Etowah has to offer! Your participation will
result in many benefits. Aside from the learning
experiences you will enjoy, the leadership skills
you will have the opportunity to acquire, the fun
you will have, and the people you will meet, one
of the greatest benefits of your participation
will be your ability to list these activities on
college, technical school and/or job
applications. Competition for jobs and school and
college admission can be tough, and admissions
offices and employers look for
"well-rounded" individuals. These
activities offer a fun and rewarding way for you
to become that sort of "well-rounded"
individual.
