SJND’s cocurricular activities complement the academic program.

They provide opportunities for students to deepen their faith, as well as develop their individual talents and interests, leadership potential, and social skills.

Additionally, they provide students with venues to form enduring friendships and to have fun.

Campus Life Team (Student Government)

For the past 15 years, SJND’s student government program has been on the cutting edge. The Campus Life Team (CLT), made up of the Associated Student Body (ASB) officers, Division Council Members, and the Campus Ministry Executive Board (CMEB), is a unique model of government that has been nationally recognized and adopted by many schools throughout the United States. Because SJND is a Catholic college prep school, CLT attends to both the social and the spiritual events and activities on campus. The unique structure of CLT offers opportunities for many students with diverse interests to participate in student life. CLT emphasizes collaboration, leadership, project management, and team-building skills that serve the students through college and into their professional careers.

Christian Service Program

All SJND students are required to provide Christian Service to their community. 

For freshmen and sophomores, service is integrated into the curriculum. Juniors and seniors are required to do at least 25 hours of service during the academic year.

The school's Christian Service Commitment Form lists approved agencies where students can perform service.

The average number of hours done by SJND students is 75 hours per year.

Collectively, SJND students donate 20,000 hours per year of service to the community.

Agencies looking for students to provide direct service can contact , CSP coordinator, at 510-995-9444.
