Extracurricular Activities

ROOTED IN FAITH. RICH IN FRIENDSHIP. ALIVE WITH JOY.

At Holy Spirit Catholic School, student life is vibrant, meaningful, and joy-filled. Every child who walks through our doors is known, loved, and valued—not only for their talents, but for who they are as children of God. From PreK through 8th Grade, students are embraced by a strong, supportive community where friendships flourish, faith is nurtured, and lifelong memories are made.

Our approach to student life reflects our belief that learning and growth happen everywhere—not just in the classroom. Through school-wide traditions, buddy programs, leadership opportunities, service experiences, and extracurriculars, students are invited to shine as individuals while being part of something greater.

Fostering Community and Joy

We celebrate school spirit and community through engaging events that bring students together across grade levels, including:

Fall Spirit Week sponsored by Student Council
The beloved Turkey Basketball Shoot-Out
Catholic Schools Week celebrations
The PTO-sponsored Talent Show and Field Day in the spring
Service and Spirit Days led by our National Junior Honor Society

Students are encouraged to build one another up, celebrate their gifts, and spread joy throughout the school.

The Buddy Program

One of our most treasured traditions, the Buddy Program pairs younger and older students to build friendship, mentorship, and community. Buddies sit together at school-
wide Masses, join in activities throughout the year, and form bonds that are remembered long after graduation.

Celebrating Inside the Classroom

Throughout the year, teachers also create moments for classroom-based celebrations, reinforcing the joy of learning and the strength of the classroom community.

Opportunities Beyond the Classroom

Students are encouraged to explore their interests and gifts through a variety of after-school programs and extracurriculars. Whether their passion is sports, music, academics, service, or leadership, there is something for every student to engage in and enjoy.

Here are just a few examples of student activities offered at Holy Spirit (subject to change each year):

CYO Athletics
Choir, Band, and Strings
Student Council
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)
Altar Servers
Robotics and STEM Clubs
Shakespeare Festival and Musical Performances
Service Clubs and Outreach Projects

Additional activities are announced throughout the year in the weekly school newsletter and are always evolving to reflect student interest and school needs.
