Co-Curricular Activities

Archbishop Shaw High School recognizes that involvement in student club activities serve important motivational factors and increases one's self esteem. Activities sponsored by the school foster learning and help develop interests and hobbies useful today and tomorrow. They provide instruction in the creative use of an individual's leisure time. Nevertheless, it must be noted that student participation in co-curricular activities, as in all other school-sponsored activities, is a privilege and not an inherent right. Activities of an academic, religious, and social nature are annually held in conjunction with our sister school–Academy of Our Lady–and other schools in the area.

The school sponsors traditional student organizations and activities such as the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Key Club, journalism and yearbook, Literary Rally, academic groups, etc. Such groups meet on a frequent and regular basis during time outside of the school day or during lunch. Also, in recognition of the importance of the educational aspects of extracurricular and co-curricular activities, such activities may meet during an activity period, thereby allowing students to participate in various activities during the school day.
