Every year, Jesuit High School Sacramento hosts its Club Day, where students can explore opportunities to pursue their personal interests on campus. This year’s Club Day will take place on Thursday, Sept. 4th, in the senior quad during an extended lunch period.

Student Activities Director Mr. Peter Ferrari hopes that Club Day helps Marauders dive into student life on campus.

“The purpose of Club Day is for our students to experience and explore a lot of our different clubs,” Mr. Ferrari said. “My main hope is that the freshmen find some clubs that they want to be a part of.”

Entrepreneurs Club President Joseph Barnard ’28 is welcoming all students to try out his club.

“For Club Day, we’re just trying to get as many new faces to just get into the club, see if they like it and try to get some permanent members out of it,” Joseph said.

For the first time ever, Jesuit will also be hosting a second Club Day in January. This second event is designed to help out students who were hesitant in the fall to join a club.

“Maybe in the very beginning of their career here at Jesuit, [freshmen] are a little bit timid and they’re not ready to dive into a bunch of clubs and pursue their interests,” Mr. Ferrari said. “We thought it would be good to give them an opportunity at the beginning of the second semester to explore those clubs again.”

Executive Council President Emmett Gustorf ’26 believes that Club Day is uniquely valuable to Jesuit students.

“I just hope that kids don’t undervalue the importance of Club Day,” Emmett said. “[Many] will take it for granted, but Club Day is one of the aspects of Jesuit that you don’t get in a lot of other high schools. So I think it’s really important to get out of your comfort zone a little bit, maybe try some new things, and use the resources that Jesuit has.”

Mr. Ferrari gives some advice for freshmen who will be attending their first Club Day.

“Join at least two clubs,” Mr. Ferrari said. “You don’t have to go to every meeting for those two clubs. You’re not a member for life, but it’s a great place to start.”
