DECA

Sponsor — Mr. M. Zivic/Mr. J. Rose

The South River DECA Chapter is open to all students who have taken, will be taking or are presently taking a course through the Business Department. The school chapter is an affiliate of a national high school and college organization which promotes career awareness, leadership, and civic consciousness among students interested in business. Activities include attending career and leadership development conferences at the local, state and national levels; participating in civic activities in the local community; and taking business related field trips. Colleges and businesses nationwide know DECA, so membership is a great opportunity for something to add to job applications, resumes and college applications.

National Honor Society

Sponsor — Ms. Charles

New members of the National Honor Society are selected in the spring based on four characteristics: scholarship, service, character and leadership. A faculty committee makes the final selection from members of the sophomore and junior classes. Each month members participate in community, as well as social, activities such as a food drive, volunteering at the Anne Arundel County Food Band, costume parties, and movie night. NHS members serve also as tutors to other South River students. Each year the NHS sponsors a breakfast with Santa Claus for neighborhood children. For members this is a great chance to experience community service.
