ArtMore E-zine
Named by an SCWS student, ArtMore is a digital literary and art magazine where students can showcase their work with their peers. This virtual e-zine is produced twice a year, and features items such as original poetry, short stories, photography, multi-media art and more. Check out our student’s talent for yourself!

National Beta Club
National Honors Society
Each chapter is required to publish its qualifications for membership, which is based on the four pillars of NHS:
- Scholarship
Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 85, B, 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence. (Each school chapter is allowed to require a higher cumulative GPA.) - Service
This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation. - Leadership
Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others. - Character
The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.
Photography
The SCWS photography club works to improve students’ photography skills beyond point and shoot. We meet on the first Wednesday of every month and look at the pictures that the students took that month. We also explore a photography topic that interests the members of the club. Students get the opportunity to share their photographs with other members and learn how make their photographs better.
Student Government
