Extracurricular Activities

At St. Joseph Catholic School, we believe learning extends beyond the classroom. Our extracurricular activities give students opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, build friendships, serve others, and grow as leaders.

Altar Servers ⛪

Students in grades 4–8 who are interested in serving at Mass may participate in altar server training. Classes for new altar servers are scheduled through the parish office.

Chess Club ♟️

Chess Club is open to students in grades K–6 and provides an opportunity to develop strategic thinking, concentration, and problem-solving skills.

National Junior Honor Society 🎓

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a service organization for eligible students in grades 7–8. Membership is based on scholarship, character, service, citizenship, and leadership. Members are expected to uphold St. Joseph Catholic School's NJHS guidelines, which align with the organization's national charter.

Scouts 🛡️

Scouting opportunities are available for girls in grades K–8 and boys in grades 1–8. Scouts encourages personal growth, leadership, service, teamwork, and community involvement.

Student Council 🏫

Student Council provides students in grades 5–8 with opportunities to develop leadership skills and participate in student government. Class elections for representatives are held in the fall, while school-wide elections for officers for the following school year take place in the spring. Election criteria and procedures are announced in advance.

Yearbook 📖

Students in grades 7–8 may work throughout the school year with adult moderators to create and publish the school yearbook. The yearbook is published in May and provides students with an opportunity to contribute to a lasting record of the school year.
