Listed below are some of the extracurricular activities Catholic school students may participate in.

CYO Sports
Academy and school students have the opportunity to participate in sports through the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). The CYO provides opportunities for those interested in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, soccer, softball, track, swimming, or volleyball. The person is the main focus, not the athletic activity. Through their programs the CYO promotes participation and sportsmanship, with the leadership necessary to form a well-rounded individual. Visit the CYO website.

Almost all academies and schools offer a variety of after-school clubs and activities. Some of the common clubs include Year Book, Aquinas, Student Council, Chess, Arts & Crafts, Choir, and Science. However, you may also find clubs like: Drama, Crochet, Tap Dancing, Cross-Country, Confectionary, Cooking, Flag-Football, Hand Bells, Origami, Piano, Robotics, Photography, Twirling, and more.
