The High School Math Team is an exciting and challenging extracurricular activity that brings together students who have a passion for mathematics and want to showcase their problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and mathematical knowledge in a competitive setting.

The varsity team consists of eight students, two of whom need to be underclassmen (freshmen or sophomores). We participate in five Minnesota State High School Math League competitions where students engage in individual and team-based challenges. These competitions cover a wide range of mathematical topics, including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and more, followed by a state tournament in March.

Being a part of the Math Team not only allows students to deepen their understanding of math concepts but also fosters teamwork, collaboration, and perseverance. It provides a supportive and stimulating environment for students to explore the beauty and intricacies of mathematics while building friendships and developing valuable skills that extend beyond the realm of math. The High School Math Team is a place where students can challenge themselves, celebrate their achievements, and cultivate a lifelong love for mathematics.

What is the National Honor Society?  The National Honor Society (NHS) is an organization for high schoolers (grades 10-12) that promotes leadership, service, character, and scholarship. There are over one million students participating in NHS activities today, in all 50 states and territories of the United States. The National Honor Society started in 1921 by an association of principals. It was the first honor society created across the country. At almost 100 years old, the NHS is one of the most well-known educational and leadership groups.

The Purpose of the National Honor Society The purpose of the National Honor Society is to elevate students’ and schools’ academics, leadership, and community engagement. NHS benefits students, communities, and colleges. Colleges have a way of seeing the academic and service commitment of an applicant through his or her membership.

How Can You Become a Member?  To become a National Honor Society member, students must be invited as a sophomore or junior. This process is open one time per year following the finalization of semester 1 grades. Students are invited to apply based on their Cumulative GPA (3.85 for sophomores and 3.65 for Juniors). Once invited, they follow an expeditious application process that includes: the applicant’s written response to leadership experiences, community service, strong character,  and commitment to the four NHS Pillars. All SAHS staff and teachers are surveyed and asked to provide input on the applicants' strengths as related to the NHS Pillars.  The final selection of new members is determined by an anonymous selection committee of teachers and staff members. If students do not receive an invitation within three weeks of the completion of semester one grades and know that they qualify based on GPA, please contact the advisor.

To Continue Membership:  Students must continue to show academic commitment, leadership experience, service and good character. Throughout the year, National Honor Society members must maintain a minimum of a 3.65 GPA, attend all monthly chapter meetings and are required to volunteer 10 hours per semester and over the summer. Members are responsible for tracking their hours and submitting them on time. NHS members are invited to exclusive leadership events such as state summits, national leadership conferences, as they become available.

The FRC Robotics Team meets after school to design and construct robots together. Our team competes in a worldwide high school level competition that provides students a hands-on opportunity to learn real world engineering, design and programming skills while building robots and collaborating with peers.

During the build season (January through early April) the group meets every day after school to prepare for a three-day competition. Members are not required to attend every meeting, but are expected and highly encouraged to attend on a regular basis. Everyone is welcome to attend and no prior experience is needed!

Speech is the largest competitive extracurricular activity in the country amongst non-sports. The Stillwater Area team travels to 10 meets in the spring, where students compete against students from all over the region, in an attempt to qualify for state and two national championships. There are 13 categories for students to choose from, which are broken down into two main groups: competitive acting (humorous acting, dramatic acting, storytelling, creative writing, interpretive reading, etc) and competitive public speaking (persuasive, informative, current events, group discussion), so there is something for everyone.

The Stillwater speakers embrace uniqueness, allows students to lead in their passions, and prepares them for success in their future. We offer a welcoming, familial environment that allows students to grow as people while finding competitive success in the best state for speech in the country.
