Enrichment

Our extended day allows our students to participate in so many activities beyond the classroom. Classes run from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm but our building is open from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm. Our students are able to pursue their interests and discover new passions. 

Athletics

Our students are leaders in on the court as well as in the classroom. We offer basketball, volleyball, flag football, lacrosse, and Girls on the Run. Our girls' basketball team is the reigning champion of the Catholic school league. Tremendous opportunities are open to our lacrosse players; multiple players have gone on to high school with scholarships. Our volleyball team is coached by a parent volunteer; we love having the help of our families!

To learn more about athletics, contact Dionte Mandeldove, our coach and physical education teacher.
