Although
the primary objective of The Donoho School is
to emphasize academic preparation for college,
a wide variety of cocurricular activities are
available to the students. Leadership, discipline,
cooperation, loyalty, responsibility, and sportsmanship
are among the positive characteristics which are
developed through student activities. All clubs
and organizations have a school-appointed advisor.
A high percentage of students are actively involved
in the various programs.
Tutorial, religion class, Science Olympiad
team, student government,
and a newspaper are some of the activities provided
at the lower school . The middle school also offers
junior varsity athletic competition and cheerleading.
In the upper school, special interest clubs are
available in drama, science, math, French, and Spanish. National honorary groups
include Mu Alpha Theta (math), Tri M (music), National Honor
Society, and the National French Honor Society.
Knox Concert Series Service Club and SAAD are examples of service-oriented organizations
available. Students in grades 9 -12 are required to complete fifteen hours of community service per year. Students showing an interest in journalistic
endeavors produce the school annual (Gauntlet),
the school newspaper (The Pen Feather), and an
art literary magazine (The Lure). Leadership opportunities
are available through the Student Government Association
and the Honor Council. The Center for the Fine
Arts houses a spacious band room with individual
practice rooms, a choral room, and a visual arts
studio. Private lessons are offered in voice,
piano, guitar, and violin. Several art exhibits
are hosted each year. These activities plus a
diverse athletic program allow every student the
opportunity to enhance individuality and creativity.
