Clubs
Get involved, make friends, start a movement, explore an interest or just try something new. The variety of clubs operating at any time on campus reflect the many passions of the school’s diverse community. Clubs often meet during lunch or after school. Teachers provide guidance and connections. Here is a sampling of activities led by students in collaboration with an advisor in recent years. Past clubs have included fashion club, student leadership, qigong club, and yearbook club. The options are endless if there is enthusiasm.
Ethics Bowl
Ethics Bowl is a team competition that promotes respectful, supportive, and in-depth discussion of real life ethical issues. Cypress won the 2020 Northern California Regional High School Ethics Bowl, and we were looking forward to winning the 2020 National High School Ethics Bowl until it was cancelled due to COVID-19.

During weekly meetings we discuss the specific ethical dilemmas that will be used in the competition, as well as general ethical theory and philosophy. You do not have to compete on the team to participate in the club.
