Cathedral Class of 2026 looking and signing up for clubs Cathedral is offering for the new 2023-2024 school year. Cathedral has so many clubs to offer that give students the opportunity to develop leadership skills, make new friends, and serve others while outside of the school setting. Yoholi, a sophomore at Cathedral says, “I think this is a great event and opportunity to have because I can get a little insight into what those clubs have to offer instead of just showing up to one of their meetings without any clue of what the club does.”
