This year’s Club Rush was tremendously successful! Our students and staff’s enthusiasm, creativity, and energy made it an incredible event that showcased the diverse and vibrant range of clubs and activities available on our campus.
A huge thank you to our ASB, all the club representatives, and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this event engaging and informative. Your dedication was vital in helping students find their passions and get involved in our school community.
It’s thrilling to see so many students eager to explore new interests and make new connections. We are filled with anticipation for the wonderful things that will come from all the new friendships and projects that began during Club Rush.
A big thank you to our ASB students and Advisor McBride for planning, organizing, and running the event. We truly appreciate all of their hard work and dedication!
