BHS Key Club News Key Club was established in May 1925 in Sacramento, California by the local Kiwanis organization. Educators who sought to replace fraternities with a "more wholesome activity for youth" formed the very first Key Club at Sacramento High School. The idea behind Key Club was to form a high school service club that allows students to contribute to their communities.
GENERAL MEETINGS Meeting is held EVERY THURSDAYS at LUNCH in the AUDITORIUM. No food or drink is allowed so please don’t bring them. BUDDY GROUP LEADERS WILL BE TAKING THE ATTENDANCE. Members will be informed about upcoming updates and may sign up for any events desired.

FALL RALLY 2013!!! Due to the District's massive size, two Fall Rallies are held each year; one in Northern California at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, one in Southern California at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Thousands of members gather at each of the two theme parks on their selected day, one in October, one in November. At Fall Rally North and South, LTGs and Executive officers are "auctioned" off to Divisions; the winning Division is able to then spend a designated period of time with the "purchased" officer. Auction funds and a portion of the ticket sales for both events go towards the Pediatric Trauma Program.

Box City On Saturday, October 5-6 from 1:00pm – 8:00am (the next day), a great number of BHS Key Clubbers experienced the most amazing time at the Box City. During the day, they volunteered and helped in raising funds. Then at night, they participated in sleeping in a box overnight. Everyone enjoyed the building and sharing of the moment together with each other. It was one fantastic night in raising awareness and fundraising for homeless people.
