Student Life
Student Groups & Clubs
Fostering Belonging & Connection
At SGS, students have many opportunities to connect, grow, and build community with others who share similar interests, experiences, or identities.
These opportunities take shape through the groups and programs listed below.
Advisory Groups
The SGS Advisory Program places an emphasis on supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. Advisory Groups, composed of an adult advisor and students from a single grade, meet twice per week. Each student's advisor also acts as their advocate, offering advice and support, and communicates purposefully with families, fellow teachers, and with our Dean of Student Life. Advisors facilitate Learning Team Meetings in the fall and spring.
Affinity and Alliance Groups
SGS students have the option of participating in school-based affinity groups to explore their ethnic, cultural, or sexual identity with the support of peers, faculty, and staff. Affinity and Alliance Groups meet monthly during school hours.
After-School Programs
After-school programs include Scholar’s Club and After Care. Other programs have included Rock Band, Math Club, Robotics, IMPUHWE, and Yearbook.
Ambassador Program
This program is for students who want to support the school at various admissions events. Interested students go through a thorough application and training process and must commit to volunteering at several admissions events.
Student-Interest Groups
SIGS are created by students seeking an outlet for specific activities or interests. Led with the help of a faculty advisor, past SIGs have included Art SIG, Writers SIG, and Garden SIG, and Computer Skills SIG, and IMPUHWE.
