What is
Renaissance? |
Renaissance is not a club. It is not an organization.
Renaissance is an opportunity for students within
the co-curricular program of Marple Newtown High School.
The purpose of Renaissance is
- to provide an opportunity for all students to be recognized and
rewarded for academic achievements, commendable attendance, and a
clean discipline record;
- to provide an opportunity for students to develop leadership skills;
- to recognize and celebrate the students, the faculty and the staff
of the high school; and
- to provide service to the school and community.
