Students at Christopher High have the chance to explore a number of extracurricular opportunities
that challenge them socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
Life on Campus
CLUBS
CHS offers students lots of ways to get involved, including over 30 on campus clubs for any area of interest. Take a look at what we have to offer and we will see you in August! Learn more about clubs on campus.
LINK CREW
Link Crew is a program designed to welcome and support our incoming freshmen! At the start of the school year, every freshman is matched with a Link Leader who will help mentor and support them throughout their first year of high school. Link Leaders are positive, responsible, hand-selected 11th and 12th graders who will do all they can to help our freshmen achieve success.
THEATER ARTS
Whether you aspire to a career in theater, film, or television, enjoy performance as a hobby, or just want to become more confident and outgoing, the CHS Theater Arts Program is the place for you. We offer classes where students can earn fine arts, career tech ed, and/or elective credits. Students also have multiple opportunities to perform and produce plays, videos, and projects. New for the 2025-26 school year: Musical Theater, co-taught by choir and theater teachers.
BAND
The GUSD Band is an academic, competitive program that travels and represents the greater community regularly. Students learn music theory while performing both new and standard works in the wind, and percussion ensemble repertoire. The band competes in Bands of America and US Bands, represents Gilroy in televised parades, and performs at competitive concert festivals. Our program is focused on college scholarship and admissions preparation, and instilling a life-long appreciation for music in our students. Beginning band options are available for students no or limited prior experience.
CHOIR
Being part of the CHS Choirs is one of GUSD's legacy programs pioneered by Mr. Phil Robb. Students in the CHS Choirs receive opportunities to travel, perform, and serve our community. There are choirs for all ability levels – no previous experience is necessary! We welcome any and all students. Follow CHS Choirs on Instagram and Facebook. Learn more about the CHS choral pathway
