Clubs and Activities

A key part of growing is learning to work with others. Our students have countless opportunities to grow in faith as friends, leaders and teammates. We encourage our students to not only find their voices, but also to share them with the world. They can explore new hobbies by joining one of our many clubs listed below; flex their creative muscles by trying out drama, music or visual arts; or be a part of an athletic team through CYO sports

These student-led discussions also provide a platform for creative expression and analysis, ensuring that every student's voice is heard and valued.
