every student can discover their God‑given gifts.
Our schools provide opportunities that go beyond academics, offering extensive extracurricular options. We believe such opportunities develop the whole person, cultivate new interests, and help to unlock the talents of our students. Each school offers a unique array of programs for its student body.
Athletics
Our elementary and high schools offer numerous athletic programs that encourage participants to explore their talents while developing leadership skills, teamwork, and physical fitness.
The Arts
Students of all ages are given the opportunity to explore a full spectrum of arts activities and classes, which cultivate their talents, facilitate self-expression, and instill self-confidence.
Ministry
Catholic high schools and elementary schools offer students several ministerial opportunities that strengthen their relationship with God and with one another.
Clubs
Clubs give students the opportunity to become involved outside of the classroom and facilitate friendship-building and a wider sense of community.
Student Leadership
Student government develops qualities and skills – such as responsibility, project management, and leadership – that will serve students throughout their education and career.
