Club Rush took place on Sept. 9, 2025, during brunch in front of the outdoor stage. No matter your grade level, Club Rush is a great opportunity to get involved at school. This year, there were over 30 club stands for students to look at and join.
New and innovative clubs are added to Canyon High School every year. In celebration of another successful Club Rush, I interviewed two presidents of newer clubs on campus to get insight into their hopes for the semester as well as their advice for people joining a club for the first time.
Amelia Sivaborvorn, a president of the Film Club hopes that “people will make lasting connections and get the chance to experience aspects of film that aren’t in the spotlight. I think we’re going to produce some great films this year, and we are so excited to start production!” Film Club is bound to make entertaining shorts and films this upcoming year, so stay on the lookout for their productions!
For freshmen who might not be used to club routines, Brianna Duenez, President of Criminal Justice Club, a club that goes over careers in the criminal justice field and informs about the requirements, advises students to “pick a club that you think you are really interested in and sign up for it. If you figure out you don’t like this club anymore, go find another one.” There is no lack of options for students to choose from!
Some of Canyon’s older clubs, such as Math Honors Society and Ecos Chicos, have larger numbers of members and meet less frequently. Fewer meetings for these larger clubs (often once a month), makes attendance vital in order to not be kicked out of the club. In general, this applies to all clubs, no matter the size; each and every club needs members to be present and willing to show up.
Furthermore, having clubs that meet on the same weekday is complicated, so it is essential for students to coordinate with club advisors and club officers. If it is hard to handle, it might be best to prioritize the club of more importance in order to succeed and not fall behind.
Even if a student is not in a club, if you generally enjoy participating in activities, there are more ways to have fun on campus. You can support fundraisers, participate in games, and even spread the word about other local events. These all make a difference in fostering an involved community.
When applying to colleges, admissions officers like to look at the different ways people impact their community. Therefore, participating in different clubs looks good on college applications and may help with the selection process.
To conclude, the 2025 Club Rush season resulted in an amazing turnout from students of all grade levels! Students are excited to have joined new clubs and look forward to their upcoming meetings and events!
