St. Mary School After-School Sports Program (Grades 5–8)

At St. Mary School, we are proud to offer a vibrant and structured after-school sports program for students in Grades 5 through 8. This program provides students with the opportunity to develop athletic skills, teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit in a safe and supportive environment.

Academic & Conduct Eligibility
To ensure that academics remain a top priority, students must maintain a minimum grade of “C” or better in Effort, Conduct, and Homework as reflected on their Progress Reports and Report Cards. Students who do not meet these standards may become ineligible to participate in the after-school sports program until improvement is demonstrated.

Our athletics program is designed not only to promote physical fitness but also to foster personal responsibility, leadership, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
