Student Activities

Student Activities

A variety of student activities and special events are planned and executed by the Student Body Officers, Class Officers, Student Senate, and a variety of committees that are open to any students, not holding an elected position, who are interested in leadership and in being actively involved. They work out of the Student Government office, adjacent to the Saint Joseph Commons, under the supervision of the Director of Student Activities.

Juan Diego Catholic High School offers a wide variety of activities for students because we believe that these activities are an essential part of Catholic education. Some of these activities are under the guidelines of the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) and as such are governed by the rules, by-laws, and regulations of that organization. Students involved in activities or clubs are subject to the guidelines in this handbook.

The Director of Student Activities establishes and monitors all existing and new clubs and organizations. The Director should be contacted with ideas related to all non-athletic activities, so they can be taken to the Student Council for review. Every club and organization is required to have a faculty advisor.

Academic Eligibility

Eligibility for extracurricular activities and athletics is based upon the grading period prior to, and during, the sport or activity. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average at the end of a grading period prior to, and during, the sport or activity to participate in extracurricular activities. In addition, two failing grades in a grading period make a student ineligible, in accordance with the Utah High School Activities Association, for any participation in school sports and activities for the following grading period. Please note, some activities or sports teams may increase the eligibility requirements upon approval by the administration and with notice to the participants and their parents. Serious violations of school rules could also be grounds for ineligibility.

Students must be in attendance at least four of six periods in order to participate in any game, practice, competition, performance, or activity held that day.

If you are interested in one of the activities listed below, please inquire at the Office of Student Activities and we will direct you to the activity advisor. If you don’t see a particular activity or club, and you would like to start one, we can help you with that too.
