Student Groups

Student Groups

Student Interest Groups (SIGs) are a great way for all SMHS students to get involved in areas of interest while continuing their education outside the typical class setting. For information about the registration/renewal process, deadlines and expectations, please see the Medical Center Student Council page.

SIGs are open to all SMHS students. Participation is not limited based on any individual’s personal identity, characteristics, or viewpoint, including but not limited to: race, color, national origin, shared ancestry, religion, political affiliation, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status.
