Student Clubs

In order to bolster student pride and alleviate feelings of isolation, for Hispanic students, CONEXICONES provides funding for clubs organized within the Howard County Public School System (HCPSS). These clubs create a sense of community, celebrate Hispanic heritage and provide leadership experiences that students might otherwise not gain. Each club sponsor, typically a teacher or Hispanic Achievement Liaison, submits an operating plan to provide student enrichment activities during the course of the school year, along with a request for funding to achieve the plan.
