Leadership Opportunities & Clubs

FJA students demonstrate leadership in many different ways. Students organize clubs, lead town halls, team up for community service projects, and participate in leadership events outside of school.

There are many ways for students to get involved, find other students with the same interests, and create new options at FJA that did not exist before. Clubs meet during lunch, giving almost all students an opportunity to participate. Students looking for after school activities can participate in the arts and athletics programs.

The Director of Student Life will provide information about forming a club at the beginning of the school year. Contact the Student Life Office for more information.

The deep empathy and understanding procured throughout the process is what these twice a month meetings will hope to accomplish and enthusiastically discuss.

Technology Club
The Technology Club aims to help students at FJA learn and develop an interest in both the hardware and software aspects of technology.

The National Honor's Society Chapter inducts new members every fall. As a member of NHS students are expected to maintain a GPA of 3.7, perform 20 hours of community service and 15 synagogue visits each year. Within NHS there is a leadership committee who meets monthly to learn how to create and plan programs.

Students celebrate their school spirit by wearing grade colors, decorating their hallways and competing in grade competitions. Spirit week normally takes place during the fall semester around the homecoming dance.

FJA hosts two all school dances, one in the fall and one in the spring, along with a prom for FJA seniors and their guests.
