The CIAC’s Class Act Schools initiative is designed to empower schools and particularly students to take ownership for all issues related to sportsmanship within the athletics department.

Doing so includes striving to follow an established set of guidelines for behavior at sporting events and create a student-led group to monitor and address sportsmanship concerns within the school.

The Class Act Council here at Grasso Tech will be the primary way that sportsmanship will be promoted and encouraged.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

At Grasso Tech, NHS members provide service to the school and community. They volunteer at local events, such as Open House and Freshmen Orientation. They also facilitate four blood drives at the school each year. Students also need to maintain personal service logs and high standards of scholarship, leadership and character.

Student mentors are seniors that serve as mentors to the incoming ninth grade students. Their responsibilities include working with the teachers during the ninth grade orientation on the first day of school and meeting with their orientation groups regularly during the school year. During orientation, the mentors help the students get to know each other, discuss with them the differences between high school, and middle school and teach them about the important elements of Grasso Tech.

During the school year, the mentors are asked to revisit their orientation groups several times during the school year in order to facilitate discussions around predetermined topics. Their main role is to be positive, reliable role models for the ninth graders. They provide a much needed student connection and help the freshmen make a successful transition to Grasso Tech by making them feel welcome, answering their questions, and sharing their experiences with them.
