Student Life » Overview

Overview

Damien High School offers a diverse, healthy and purposeful student life program. From our lively student body government to multiple leadership organizations to robust co-curricular programs, students have an opportunity to explore and learn about their full potential. 
 
Our campus is rich with traditions like the The Pit, Homecoming, Kairos, Prom, and the Feast of St. Damien. These opportunities, events and traditions help cultivate the iconic Spartan Brotherhood that our students develop and maintain through life.

The Spartan Life is filled with incredible opportunities for personal, academic, and spiritual development. By graduation, a Damien Spartan should be a well-rounded individual by developing a healthy lifestyle, practicing self-discipline; understanding various models of leadership; and being open to opportunities for leadership.
 
A Damien Spartan should exhibit community and global awareness by exploring cultural contributions of diverse societies; recognizing the various social, political and economic forces that shape our world; and understand our responsibility as stewards of the natural environment and its resources.
 
There are numerous events for Spartans to gather and grow within the community, including Pomona Catholic School students and St. Lucy's Priory High School students. These include, but are not limited to:
 
      • Cheering on our Spartans from The Pit (our renown student section at all sporting events)
      • Enjoying Spirit Week leading to the Homecoming Game
      • Participating in spiritual retreats: Adelphoi (Freshmen), Sophomore Retreat, Emmaus (Juniors), Kairos (Seniors).

      • Fall and Spring semester sports rallies
