September 17, 2015


 
Leadership, laughs and a lot of fun are just some of the extra-curricular opportunities students can have in CJ clubs. During homeroom on Monday, September 21, students can learn more about CJ's clubs during Club Sign-Up Day.
  
Most of CJ's clubs are free and have time commitments ranging from weekly to monthly meetings. You can find a list of this year's clubs here. Club membership is added to a student's end-of-the-year transcript so colleges can see what activities the student has been involved in.

We encourage students to get involved at CJ whether that is with athletics, performing arts, clubs, or another group. Students can stay informed about club meeting dates and times by checking the Student News website, accessible on all student Chromebooks, or the daily announcements in the cafeteria.  

We believe extra-curricular activities help create well-rounded students, and we are proud to offer a wide variety of club options at CJ. If you have any questions, please contact me.
