Extra Curricular Activities
For many years, students have had the opportunity to join many clubs and activities, such as the ASB . or Leadership, The Hermanos Club, Drama Club/Thespians Troupe, ASB or Leadership, Journalism (which produces the school newspaper, the Warrior), Chess Club, Mock Trial, California Scholarship Federation, and the GSA.
A tradition that is upheld at South San Francisco High School is with the football team. In the Fall, during the football season, students await an event called The Bell Game. The Bell Game is an annual tradition where South San Francisco High School plays against their rival, El Camino High School. Most of the student body at South City, as well as the rest of the community, attend the football game. The student governments from both schools set up decorations and help show school spirit at the game. The bands from both schools also compete to be the louder band in a friendly competition. In the end, the school that wins the football game wins the trophy, also known as "The Bell." The 2011 Bell Game was the 50th.

Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or activities:
“The extra worry began it—on the
Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
And then and there. Meanwhile the host
Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
No one did much about eating.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
