Most schools have fun organizations for students like theater, chess and student council, but Texas High offers many more clubs that a lot of students don’t realize we have.



DECA

Distributive Education Clubs of America allows students to merge education and business. Members of this club learn skills in leadership, marketing and distribution. DECA is available to students who have taken any business class, such as entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting and BCIS. Students get to attend leadership conferences and enter into competitions like Maverick day, Stars Day and District Leadership training for the chance to advance to state using their marketing and leadership skills.



Dress For Less For Success

This club teaches students to save money on clothes by dressing professionally with a budget and not spending a lot of money on expensive clothes and outfits. Dress For Less For Success also offers opportunities to prepare students for job interviews and encourage proper attire in daily living.




Entrepreneur club

This club is perfect for teenagers who love to create new things like apps, products or even programs for our school. The entrepreneur club allows students to come together, be creative and be inventive.



Fashion Club

Fashion club gives all students a chance to express themselves through their clothes. Students can design their own outfits and styles while learning leadership, decision making, problem solving and more. This club even hosts fashion shows to show off their students' work to the school and community.



Graphic Arts

This club is a great opportunity for technology lovers. Graphic arts teaches students how to create and share different styles of art by using technology.
