The international society is a multicultural club that holds meetings once a month in the cafeteria.

Information regarding the Math Club of SWMHS

Members of the Math Club engage in the following activities:

1 Members participate in six Math League competitions where they compete against other High Schools in New Jersey.

2. Members engage in fundraising activities. Money raised is used to cover the cost of the Math League registration, graduation awards for students who demonstrate excellence in mathematics and our annual math club breakfast.

3. Members also have the opportunity to share their mathematical skills with elementary students.. Each year a group of students are sent to Arleth School to participate in our "Teacher for the Day" program.

Election to the National Honor Society is the highest honor which a high school student can receive. Membership is restricted to those juniors and seniors who have maintained a 3.5 grade point average during their high school years, and who exhibit the positive traits of leadership, service and good character. In order for a student to be considered eligible to apply for National Honor Society membership, a student: 1) Must maintain a 3.5 grade point average; 2) Must be active in at least 3 school sponsored clubs/sports teams (throughout their high school career starting in grade 9) which are registered as such through Student Council and the Board of Education to be considered for membership; No academic Honor Societies or organizations associated to classes where credit is earned (Peer Leadership, REP, etc.) will be accepted. As well, no production run under an organization will count as an activity, however the student may list the sponsoring club as the activity. 3) Should have at least two consecutive memberships in activities. The greater the numbers for items (2) and (3), the better the chance of selection. A charge of cheating on tests/assignments or any other conduct, including school suspensions, which is not in compliance with National Honor standards may be sufficient to deny acceptance into the National Honor Society. Any student meeting these requirements will be considered eligible to apply for NHS membership. These students must submit to the Faculty Council an activity form showing specific information regarding activities and offices held. This form, however, does not guarantee membership. All records of students who submit an activity form will be reviewed by the Faculty Council. The Faculty Council shall consist of five faculty members appointed by the principal; the chapter advisor will be an ex-officio member of the council. Each student must receive an above average score of the characteristic ratings of the Faculty Council, according to the established guidelines. This final rating by the Faculty Council will determine those students who will become members of the National Honor Society. Students who are elected in their junior year may maintain membership throughout their senior year by maintaining GPA, service hour standards, and active membership in school clubs/sports teams. Serious violations of school policies could result in termination of membership. The National Honor Society members are involved with other school activities and aim to improve relationships within the school. Its other functions include fundraising activities, which are aimed at the purchase of NHS supplies, the donation of graduation awards, and the contribution to other worthy causes.

Invitations are also extended in September to former students of III and IV who achieve a 90 or better final average in their course of the previous year. Final grades from I and II do not affect election in September.

The goals of «La Esperanza» are, in addition to recognizing the academic success of its members, to promote the study of Spanish, to encourage the understanding of the Hispanic culture and people, and to provide opportunities for school and community service to its members. Annual school-wide projects are the Celebration of World Languages Week in March, a Tutoring Program, and a world-wide Pen Pal Service.

The yearbook of SWMHS

The requirements for the club: to be drug, alcohol and smoke free.

We have about 40 members that work hard to make this club a success.

Members of TIGS get together to reinforce their decision to be drug, alcohol, and smoke free. They try to influence their peers to realize that they can have fun without using drugs or alcohol. We provide presentations to the entire school every year that educates the students and staff about the possible effects of using drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. The members have gone on high and low ropes courses together to build trust and friendships. They have done work for Middlesex county and represent our school at Community Unity Day, which requires them to help educate the families of Sayreville about drug and alcohol abuse.

Every summer we send students to a Teen Leadership Conference, which allows students to spend a week attending seminars and workshops dedicated to educating the students about drug and alcohol abuse. Students enjoy the camp so much that they offer another camp for students to reunite when they attend college.
