Student Life 

St. Cecilia Cathedral School goes beyond the normal academic curriculum.  We feel that it is important to meet the differentiated needs of our students and provide opportunities to explore their interests.  

Student Organizations & Clubs

• Altar Servers - Altar servers are trained to serve Mass at the Cathedral. Ages: 6th, 7th & 8th Grades 

• Band Program - Music in Catholic School (MCS) is an Archdiocesan program which allows students to develop individual and group instrumental band skills. Participants receive two lessons per week during school hours. Students are brought together with musicians from other schools for band performances. Ages: 5th through 8th Grades

• Operetta - This is the St. Cecilia traditional annual musical. The cast is selected by audition from students 5th through 8th grade.  The balance of students in 3rd through 8th grades perform in the chorus.   Students auditioning for the cast commit to a rehearsal schedule of seven weeks preceding the show. 

• Roots & Shoots - This organization, founded by the Jane Goodall Institute, encourages young people to participate in service projects which help people, animals, and the environment. Ages:  6th, 7th & 8th Grade 

• Student Government - Led by Ms. Guinn and Ms. Arensberg, the student leadership group allows students to take leadership roles in the planning of school activities.  They collaborate with one another to foster a positive environment for all members of the school community.
