Academic games is a competitive league that concentrates on sharpening a student's skills in mathematics, social studies, and analytical thinking. Throughout the year, four games alternate: On-Sets, Equations, Propaganda, and Presidents. Students in 5th thru 7th grade are eligible, and those qualifying through an achievement formula set by the National Academic Games League, are able to attend the Olympic competition for all four games. This competition is held in late April each year.
Student Ambassadors serve under the guidance of the Student Council Executive Board and are comprised of 5th-7th grade students. The Ambassador Program is a leadership opportunity for students who are committed to serving and representing the St. Catherine of Siena Community. These students perform various duties such as providing campus tours, welcoming prospective parents and students, assisting staff members, and planning fun events for the students and teachers.
Altar Servers is a ministry for boys and girls who are entering the 4th grade. The servers are assembled into teams and are trained to assist at school and parish liturgies. There are three stages to the Altar Server program: Observer (4th grade), Junior Server (5th - 7th grade), and Senior Service (8th - 12th grade). New altar serving training takes place in the fall.
