Log off, Show up, Pitch in!

Participation is a great Cate tradition.

On weekends and after sports, students can take the school shuttle into Carpinteria to grab a meal, pick up dorm essentials, or simply spend time at the beach and in town. Each weekend, Cate offers a range of organized activities, from on-campus events like dodgeball tournaments to school traditions such as Homecoming and Winter Formal, as well as camping trips, community service outings with local nonprofits, and other off-campus excursions.

Additionally, students organize and run numerous clubs on campus, with meetings and activities announced at assembly. You can write for the school newspaper, El Batidor, participate in international exchanges through Round Square, or explore the nearby Pacific Ocean by joining the Scuba Club. Writing Dangerously is a club for aspiring scribblers, Crochet Club and Busking Club for our artists, and Model UN attract the politically and internationally active members.

If you don’t find the club you want to join, just start one of your own. Many clubs meet in the evening after dinner and before study hours.
