Student Activities & Events
LEADERSHIP
Associated Student Body (ASB)
Each year, eight or more seniors are elected to represent the entire student body. The offices of the ASB include Chairperson, President, Class Council Liaison, Spirit Coordinator, Social Media Coordinator, Resident DJ and Class Competition Coordinator. ASB affords leadership opportunities to guide the student experience at Marin Catholic. They work in collaboration to coordinate rallies, plan dances, select spirit days and keep the student body updated with news and focused initiatives. Dance seasons are kicked off with rallies during school. The ASB introduces the theme of the dances, the various themed spirit days, and the princess and prince nominees during particular rallies.
Class Councils
Our student-elected class councils help to advance our school mission by gathering student input and planning meaningful student events in partnership with ASB. Class council elections are held in the spring semester for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The frosh class council elections are held in the fall semester of freshman year.
DANCES
Homecoming
Few high schools have a Homecoming as Marin Catholic does. The weeks of celebration being in the Fall with a rally when all princesses are named and celebrated. Beginning in 2025, the MC community loves to cheer on and support its fantastic football team during the Homecoming game under the lights, as we await the announcement of the Homecoming Queen and King during halftime. Students look forward to the dance on Saturday night in the decorated gym the following evening. Parents of the Homecoming Queen and princesses are invited to come at a specific time when the Queen and the princesses are honored during a special dance when with are introduced with their escorts.
Father Daughter / Mother Son
Another unique aspect of Marin Catholic’s student activities are the annual father/daughter and mother/son dances. Each year fathers and daughters, and mothers and sons enjoy a dance in the fall. These are the first dances of each year which make them extra special and perfect for all the freshmen who have just joined the MC community. Students love the fun and quality time with their parents and special friends!
Junior Prom
Held in mid-April, this special dance for the junior class is celebrated on a yacht - with students enjoying dinner, karaoke, dancing, and more! Students dressed in their finest depart from the Sausalito ferry terminal. The yacht embarks on a round trip under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Senior Ball
One of the last events of the year, Senior Ball is a treasured tradition at Marin Catholic. Typically held in mid-May, all seniors are invited to the dance at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco! Girls and guys dressed up and head to the city to have dinner and dance the night away together.
RALLIES
Mini Olympics
Mini Olympics is a bi-annual rally that focuses on increasing building school community and class unity through an Olympic style interclass competition with fun challenges and games including creative obstacle courses. Each class comes to school decked in their class color. Class colors are a tradition at MC; each year the incoming freshman class is assigned a color that they retain for all four years.
Homecoming
These all school dances are kicked off with school rallies. The Associated Student Body introduces the theme of each dance with various spirit days the week of the Friday night dance. Following the theme introduction, students gather and perform mini-skits to introduce each spirit day and introduce the princesses (Homecoming) and princes (Turnabout).
