2026 - 2027  STUDENT CLUBS

THIS PAGE IS BEST VIEWED ON A DESKTOP/LAPTOP

​

Any BHMS students interested in starting a club may submit a Club Application. Student clubs can change every year, based on student interest. The school will announce when the club application process will begin each school year. Please visit our Student Clubs page for some more information on how to start a student club.

​

The student club application process is managed by the school. Once student clubs are approved by the school administration, they will announce a Club Day, where students can find out more about the clubs and how to join.

 

Student Club advisor stipends are funded by Bret Harte Athletics and Booster Club (BHBC). On average, BHBC spends nearly $10,000 a year to cover student club advisor stipends. Please consider a donation to help us continue to fund these kinds of programs.

​

The list of clubs below is provided by Student Services. If you feel that a club is missing, or there is an error in the information provided, please contact school administration to clarify. All Bret Harte students are welcome to join any club. They simply need to show up on the designated day and time at the location listed for the club.
