THE TWO TIME GRAND CHAMPION STERLING STARS

Director: Courtney Williams

The purpose of the varsity drill team is to promote spirit and sportsmanship at school functions and to serve as a performing group representing the high school throughout the community, state, and nation.

Instructional and performance activities are affirmatively directed toward development of individual member improvement, resulting in a highly skilled performance group. Each student selected must be cognizant of the time commitment and individual dedication demanded in striving for personal improvement and teamwork through responsibility
and discipline.

Students are exposed to teaching, practice, and performance opportunities that result in the development of responsibility, self-respect, and that encourage honest effort in striving for excellence. These opportunities also develop character, teamwork, and pride in quality performance and physical fitness by emphasizing the maintenance of high standards.

Lumberjacks

 

The Lumberjacks are Naaman Forest Ranger Men’s Stunt and Spirit Squad who, along with the cheerleaders, get the crowds “fired up” at games and pep rallies. Lumberjacks are usually described as out-going, smart, personable, and dedicated leaders. Although gymnastics is a popular part of the Lumberjack history, we are in need of all skill sets. If you have “mad” school spirit and love having a great time, the Lumberjacks may be for you.

Currently there is no sponser for the Lumberjacks but please stay tuned for announcements for a new sponsor and Lumberjack. 

 

Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. The speed of the step depends on the beat and rhythm the performer wants it to sound.

Our step team practices and performs at our pep rallies. The step team also competes in competition in the spring.

What is DECA?

DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.  It enhances the co-curricular education of members through a comprehensive learning program that integrates into classroom instruction, applies learning, connects to business, and promotes competition.

DECA's core values are competence, integrity, teamwork, and innovation.

 

 

The Academic Decathlon is designed to include students of three academic levels. Each nine-member team consists of three "A" students, three "B" students and three "C" students, as determined by official GPA.

Sponsors: Vanessa Lyons and Andrew Clark
 

Academic Decathlon/Octathlon is a team competition wherein students match their intellects with students from other schools. Students are tested in the following categories:

• Art
• Economics
• Essay
• Language and Literature
• Mathematics
• Science
• Music
• Super Quiz
• *Speech
• *Interview

*Speech and Interview are for Decathlon only, Octathlon members will not participate in these two events.

Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded for individual events and total scores. Winning teams advance through the local, regional, and state levels of competition. The best Ac Dec teams from each region compete at the state championship, and the state champion competes at the national finals. Octathlon competes at local and regional levels only.

Educational experience

Based on the model of the athletic decathlon, the Academic Decathlon requires participants to prepare for ten academic events. Like the athletic contest, the Academic Decathlon does not permit participants to specialize but rather encourages academic versatility by requiring students to prepare for all ten events.

AcDec emphasizes educational opportunity and academic excellence; therefore, students must pass all subjects in order to participate in competitions.

Membership

In order to be involved, a student must apply though the coaches. They can be reached easily via email at the following addresses: Mrs. Lyons or Mr. Clark.

Students must exhibit a desire to learn independently and to challenge themselves personally. Classes are offered for both Academic Decathlon and Octathlon. Unless arrangements are made with the coaches, students must be in the class in order to participate in the competitions.

Because AcDec is extremely competitive and students are asked to expand their knowledge of ten subjects, honors credit is awarded on the GISD transcript for students in Academic Decathlon or Octathlon classes at Naaman Forest.

• Maintain GPA of 3.5 or above
• Attend meetings
• Acquire forty service hours (20 or more each semester)
• Receive NO disciplinary infractions

Membership criteria

To be eligible for membership consideration, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 at the end of the fall semester. Students will then be required to complete a Student Information Form and turn it in to the advisor by the specified due date. Additionally, potential members must meet high standards of leadership, service, and character.

Leadership is based on the student’s participation in the community, or school activities, or election to an office. Service is based on the student’s prior activities in either community or school volunteer projects. Character is measured in terms of integrity, behavior, ethics, and cooperation with both students and faculty. The Faculty Council will evaluate members of the sophomore and junior classes in these areas based on information provided by the student and the faculty.

Service hours

You are required to earn 20 hours per semester. We hope you divide your twenty hours between service to the school and service to the community, but there is no requirement that students spend a certain amount of hours in service to the school and the other in service to the community.

Service hours may be earned in a variety of ways: helping teachers, attending tutorials, leading tutorials, volunteering at school and community events, helping neighbors, teaching, etc. When Mrs. Varrassi knows of volunteer needs, she communicates the information on Canvas. If NHS members know of service or volunteer needs and communicates that to Mrs. V or the officers, the entire NHS is made aware of it.

Participation in the school wide NHS service opportunity is highly encouraged.

Esports stands for electronic sports, but for high school students, it is much more than that. Esports has changed the traditional meaning of “student-athlete” as it has been officially recognized as a sanctioned sport. Esports provides students with the opportunity to represent their schools through competitive game play, while improving collaboration skills, strategic thinking skills, team-work strategies and communication skills. To participate in Esports, each student must follow the strict rules and guidelines stated in The Garland ISD Esports handbook, which includes that students must be passing all classes and exhibit positive behaviors on and off campus.

In its inaugural season, Naaman’s NFHS Orange Rocket League team placed among the top 16 in the state of Texas losing in the 2nd round of the state playoffs, and our League of Legends team finished among the top 8 in the state after losing in the 3^rd round.
