Clubs
Mineral Springs Middle School

Extra-curricular activities play a major role in the development of a well-rounded student.  Mineral Springs offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.  Each activity has a faculty sponsor and most organizations meet weekly.  An activity bus runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students who stay for a school-sponsored activity.  Every student is encouraged to become involved in an extra-curricular activity. 

The following is a list of some of the clubs offered at Mineral Springs:

  • Builder's Club -- A service organization, sponsored by the Twin City Kiwanis Club, which assists with beautification projects on campus.  The Builder's Club also completes several projects, such as food drives, faculty breakfasts, and sponsoring activities for the students at Mineral Springs Elementary. 
  • Crosby Scholars -- Interested in a four-year scholarship to college?  Crosby Scholars consists of students who choose to be drug-free, display good citizenship, and strive for academic success.  Academic requirements must be met, as well as receiving a teacher recommendation.  Applications are distributed in the fall of the school year.
  • MathCounts -- A national math coaching and competition program, open to all grade levels, that promotes mathematical achievement.  Students focus on creative problem-solving which will enhance their math skills and prepare them for the regional MathCounts competition.
  • National Academic League (NAL) -- An academic competition team composed of students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades that competes against other middle schools.  The events are centered around academics, the arts, speaking skills, and presentation.  NAL is usually held during the first semester of school.  Students must be recommended by a teacher.
  • National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) -- Students must meet specified criteria to be eligible for nomination.  Students must be model students who exhibit leadership, character, service, citizenship, and scholarship.  The faculty committee votes whether the students have met the criteria and exhibit the positive qualities required by NJHS.  An induction ceremony is held each spring.  Members are nominated throughout their middle school careers.  Members must maintain specific criteria for continued membership.
  • Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE) -- This group focuses on encouraging non-violence.  There is also a community service component, including the Adopt-a-Street project.
