Board members Cassandra Abagat and Katelin Hugo, along with advisor, Ms Sweet, excitedly explained their experiences and Key Club moments.

Two board members, who were originally regular members, Cassandra Abagat and Katelin Hugo, have now had some of the greatest memories working with Key Club, as well as do amazing work as sophomore representative and bulletin editor/historian. 

“I wanted to be more involved with Key Club as I’m very passionate about it, and give back to my community!” Hugo exclaimed. “Since freshman year, Cassandra and I have always been optimistic about Key Club and making an impact, so joining the board our sophomore year was always the goal.”

Key Club makes new friends all while demonstrating generosity and giving back to the community. It was first established in Sacramento High School back on May 7, 1925. Our region is CNH (California-Nevada-Hawaii). The parent organization is Kiwanis International. 

Our Key Club was formed years before Ms. Sweet became advisor. She was originally co-advisor with a former math teacher. 

“He did all of the paperwork the first year I was co-advisor and I had a lot of awesome key club moments,” Ms. Sweet, current math teacher and Key Club advisor, declared. “I would show up for volunteer services, RTC, Fall Rally. I showed up for anything and everything. I loved it! I have my ups and downs now as a singular advisor, but I have had hundreds of key club moments.”

Board members, regular members, and our advisor all have the common belief that Key Club is a positive experience for anyone who joins.

“Key club is very community centered. We are passionate about serving the community and caring for all,” Cassandra Abagat stated. “It inclusively advocates for everyone and promotes generosity and leadership.”

Key Club improves academics, gives volunteer opportunities, and supports students throughout their school year. Key Club is a worldwide organization and has organizational differences from elementary students to elderly beings.
