The Saxon Scholastic Bowl Team gives students a chance to test their curricular and trivial knowledge against students from other schools. A competition pits school against school - each with a five-member team armed only with a pencil, paper and a buzzer. The first question is read by the moderator...anyone can buzz in, but you only have 10 seconds! The team whose mate answers correctly gets a chance at a series of bonus questions, during which the team may confer before calling out their answers. The team with the most points after 20 questions wins the match! SHS competes in about 10 MSL/IHSA meets and the Illinois Masonic Bowl.

Partners Club is an inclusive social organization that brings together students from the Multiple Capabilities Classroom and their peers to build friendships, develop social skills, and promote school-wide inclusion. The club provides opportunities for students of all abilities to connect through shared experiences — both on campus and in the community. On-site activities may include movies, crafts, cooking projects, and game days, while off-site events often feature bowling, visits to local pumpkin farms, and shopping for our Adopt-A-Family program. Partners Club meets approximately once a month for after-school gatherings, with meeting times and events planned around student availability. Our goal is to create a fun, supportive environment where everyone belongs and friendships can grow!
