Student Clubs
Clubs offer an outlet for activities and interests that do not fall within existing programs. Clubs which have been established in the past include Billiards, Ultimate Frisbee, Philosophy, Chess, and Pep Club, for example. Student Council grants charters to any student groups that can demonstrate sufficient interest in the formation of a club, that can articulate a reasonable purpose for existence, and that can secure a faculty advisor who will participate in club activities.
Student Council
Since the re-establishment of Memphis University School, the Student Council has played an important part in the coordination and control of student affairs. The Student Council's purpose is to serve as liaison between the student body and the faculty, making recommendations to school administration about changes in the school program that will work to the best interests of all concerned.
From time to time, the Student Council is consulted on matters that directly affect the student body. Wherever possible, the authority for regulating student affairs is given to the Student Council.
The Student Council president is elected by the student body, with a council composed of elected representatives from each class. The council has constitutional charge over such things as student activities and school elections. In becoming a member of the school, a student automatically becomes a participant in student government. It is expected that as a good citizen, a student will take an active part in the life of the school.
Student-Led Publications
Student-led publications have always been an important extracurricular activity at MUS. In recent years all publications have set high standards, won many awards, and have involved many students in their creative efforts.
We offer students the chance to contribute to four major publications:
- The MUSe: an annual literary magazine
- The Owl: the school yearbook
- The Owl's Hoot: the school newspaper
