TAMS has a wide variety of clubs available to students including academics, fine arts, technology, and more! Clubs at TAMS are unique in that most, if not all, activities and events run by clubs are student driven. TAMS Clubs tend to have greater community outreach than typical high school clubs and are able to undertake more activities.

Advised[edit | edit source]

An Advised club receives a TAMS staff as an advisor and budget directly from TAMS Student Life. Additionally, Advised clubs have to adhere to specific rules regarding exec selection, usage of budget, events, etc. Only select clubs become Advised; typically these clubs are the largest and undertake the most activities.

Club Advisor[edit | edit source]

Club advisors are usually consists of academic counselors, hall directors, program advisors, and resident assistants. Generally, the advisor checks on each club to ensure they are fulfilling their role within TAMS. However, some clubs are more closely tied to their advisor compared to others.

Independent[edit | edit source]

Independent (unadvised) clubs are officially registered with TAMS Student Life but are not given an advisor nor budget due to their relative youth and niche. Unadvised clubs frequently come and go and can be easily created.

Defunct[edit | edit source]

Defunct clubs refer to clubs that have been dissolved or merged into other clubs. Clubs die for many reasons. Some clubs become committees of larger clubs, some clubs merge with other clubs, some clubs are unable to form an exec team, and some clubs are no longer relevant in the TAMS community. RIP these clubs.
