Extra Curricular

St. Joseph/Marquette Catholic School’s mission is to educate the total child. As part of the mission, we provide a variety of extra-curricular activities. These activities are available to help the students to develop their talents.

We offer the following sports for 7th & 8th grade boys and girls: Boys Baseball, Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys and Girls Soccer, Track & Field and Girls Volleyball.

Kostka Club

Advisor: Mrs. Joanne Velasquez and Father Gene Delmore SJ.

Yearbook

Eighth grade students interested in being on the yearbook staff usually meet one day a week after school for an hour to do everything necessary to produce the school yearbook. They take pictures, design pages, paste up pages, and write copy. They also make decisions regarding theme, contents, and cover choices. If you are creative, we need you!
