Club Rush is an annual event at HMSA where clubs set up stands during CP and advertise themselves to students. This year, it was held on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. 

During Club Rush, all grades are allowed to wander around the school’s blacktop to interact with the various clubs HMSA offers, giving students an opportunity to explore a wide range of clubs and organizations available to them on campus.

Clubs help students to meet new people, discover new interests, and be more involved at HMSA. With 15 clubs offered, there are a lot of opportunities to expand your involvement and social circle.
