Clubs and Activities
Education doesn’t end when the school day is finished. Queen of Peace School offers a wide variety of extracurricular programs that provide further enrichment for our students. These activities are enjoyable and can provide memories your child will hold onto for a lifetime.
They have also been proven to boost school attendance, academic success, and aspirations for continuing education past high school. However, extracurricular activities are more than social outings or schedule-fillers. They instill great values like teamwork, responsibility and a sense of community.
