Extracurricular Activities

Excellence in the classroom is paramount at Saint Peter Catholic School, but we know a lot of learning can take place outside the classroom as well.
We strive to identify and strengthen the various abilities and talents of our students, in order that development of the whole child takes place.

Saint Peter Catholic School has a variety of extracurricular activities to engage students and supplement their academic work. Please click here for information on Wildcat Athletics.
