Irvington Clubs
A Club is an extra curricular group where students can share a common interest. Because of this students cannot receive class credit for any club event or activity. To be a club you must have:
Have a certified staff member to serve as the club advisor.
Have filled out a club registration form.
Be approved to operate by the site principal and student government (ASG).
Have a club constitution and budget on file in the student account office.
Be in compliance with all club rules.
Have an ICC Agreement Form
Inter-Club Council (ICC) is an ASG committee that serves as a crucial link between Irvington clubs and ASG, providing valuable information and guidance on all aspects of club affairs. Other responsibilities include reviewing new club applications, discussing current club issues, ensuring clubs follow both Irvington and district policies, and planning large school wide events such as Club Rush and Maze Day.
