STUDENT CLUBS:
A club is defined as a student-initiated, maintained, driven and inclusive group that continuously and consistently aligns itself with the Christ-centered goals, vision and purpose of PMA. Further, these groups may choose to affiliate with a larger, national non-profit organization, but must keep in mind that this larger organization must fall within the same regimented scope as stated above.
To start a club, students must ask a teacher to moderate the club (thereby supervising meetings, events, and activities), complete the application form with the club moderator, submit fundraising ideas to the Advancement office and begin meeting and making new friends! Clubs that are first beginning have a year probation period, in which to add to the community of PMA.

The Society was founded in 1921. Application for membership in CSF must be made at the beginning of each semester for the previous semester. To be eligible for membership, a student must accumulate ten points from no more than five classes in a semester. A grade of “A” equals 3 points; “B” equals 1 point; except in an honors class or an Advanced Placement class, where a grade of “B” equals 2 points. A grade of “C” equals 0 points. A “D” or “F” in any subject debars a student from membership for that semester.
