It’s that time of the year where the many clubs of Cerritos High School come out to the quad to show off what they stand for to old and new students alike. Club Week kicked off with Community Service Clubs on Sept. 8, 2025 at lunch, where Dons earn their community hours for college and make friends. With the quad filled with club members recruiting students using pretty posters and beautiful booths, Monday was sure to get Dons ready for the rest of the week.
The Community Service clubs consisted of: the Octagon Club, Cerritos’ Surfrider Foundation, Cerritos’ Wellness Club, Red Cross Club, Miracles 4 Kids Club, Unicef Club, Key Club, American Cancer Society, Health & Nutrition Club, and STEMsters Club.
The Octagon Club gives students the chance to help the community through plenty of events. The Octagon stands for the stop sign, signaling to stop and help someone else in need.
Cerritos’ Surfrider Foundation protects and advocates for the ocean throughout cleanup and recycling events. “This year, we encourage people to join our club and to contribute to the sustainability of our environment,” states senior President Merrica Cheng.
Cerritos’ Wellness Club focuses on spreading awareness for mental health amongst both students and the world. “We hope to see new members so that we can eventually volunteer at local hospitals,” states senior President Ellen Kim.
The Red Cross Club works to develop lifesaving skills and prepare Cerritos High School for emergencies.
The Miracles 4 Kids Club aims to improve the lives of youth and volunteer to help families in need.
The Unicef Club helps children all over the globe with humanitarian crises. They hope to find more members who are willing to do the right thing and help children in need.
The Key Club gives students key opportunities to volunteer and make a difference in the community.
The American Cancer Society aims to spread cancer awareness to all students on campus. “With this year’s Club Week, we hope to share the great events we have planned, inform students about our volunteer hour opportunities, and continue to spread awareness,” says senior Amy Ge.
The Health & Nutrition Club teaches the community how to stay healthy and happy. “Since this is a new club, we’re excited to see potential new members and keep expanding,” says senior President Arya Bhakta.
The STEMsters Club visits elementary schools after school to teach the importance of STEM through fun, interactive activities. In such a digitalized age, the club hopes to create a connection through technology and real life.
Tune in for Tuesday, which is the day for Academic Clubs, and keep coming around for an exciting Club Week.
