Extracurricular Activities

We encourage our students to explore their passions through a variety of clubs, honor societies and extracurricular activities. 
 
National Junior Honor Society (Grades 7 – 8)
 
The purpose of National Junior Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and citizenship, and to encourage the development of character in our students.  The service-oriented aspect of the program affords students the opportunity to serve not only our school and parish but the Fort Wayne community at large. Throughout the year, some recipients of NJHS service projects include: 

• The Women's Care Center
• St. Mary's Soup Kitchen
• Lutheran Children's Hospital
• St. Vincent Village
• Walk for Juvenile Diabetes

Journalism (Grades 6 – 8)
 
The Pioneer Press is a quarterly newspaper compiled entirely by students. It offers students with an interest in journalism the opportunity to apply their natural and learned critical thinking, designing, and writing skills.  The Pioneer Press also allows students to explore the exciting worlds of writing, photography, design and layout, interviewing, and video editing.
