Clubs range in topics of personal interest, academics, leadership and service. During homerooms on Monday, September 10, all students had the opportunity to learn more about each club.
Club offerings at CJ this year include:
Students in the Science Olympiad and Robotics Clubs worked together to submit a piece for an event in the Science Olympiad regional competition on Saturday, March 18.
“I do not have the expertise, or the equipment, to be building a robot that is as sophisticated as required by the competition,” Science Olympiad moderator Matt Fuhs explained. “It happened to work out great that Science Olympiad and the Robotics teams meet at the same time during the week.”
"Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, There's a Leader In Us All," "Unleashing Your Inner Yoda," and "Behind Every Face is a Story." These were just some of the breakout sessions high school students, including five from CJ, could attend at the Wilks High School Leadership Conference at Miami University on Friday, April 15.
During their last weekend of Easter break, members of the Eagles for Life club went to Columbus to attend the Students for Life of America Ohio Leadership Summit. This was the first time Eagles for Life participated in the Ohio Summit, said club moderator Karen Emmerich.
Scholarship, leadership, service and character are the four qualities that describe members of the National Honors Society at Chaminade Julienne.

"To be invited to apply for membership, the student must have a 3.5 or higher GPA," Jim Sparrow, teacher and NHS moderator. "If they apply, their service, character, and leadership are scrutinized. We put Catholic teaching at the center of our chapter."
