Students » Clubs & Activities

A lively and varied program of student activities is vital to the educational development of a well-rounded individual. Bishop students are encouraged to explore their potential by becoming active members of the school community through participation in a variety of clubs and activities.

Co-curricular:

Ambassadors
Upon recommendation of members of our faculty, Bishop High students are invited to participate in the Bishop Ambassador program. Students carry out the mission of the school through word and deed by representing the school during public relations and outreach events at school and within our larger local community. Ambassador responsibilities include hosting visiting shadow students on campus and leading in Discovery Days and Open House, sharing their Bishop High experiences. You may find Ambassadors at school and/or community events, wherever they are needed as representatives of the school. A sense of school pride and enthusiasm, leadership potential, work ethic, responsibility and commitment are a few of the qualities that describe a Bishop Ambassador.
