There are some lessons best taught on the field, court, or track. These are lessons about camaraderie among teammates, bouncing back from defeat, and being graceful in victory. As part of our commitment to teaching the whole child, we support a vibrant athletic program that is an integral part of this mission.

Our students compete from the heart.

In addition to physical education, students are encouraged to participate in competitive sports including track, basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, and cross country.

Our middle school students are eligible to participate in the joint-Catholic school athletic program through the Treasure Valley Catholic Schools (TVCS). TVCS is a coalition of six K-8 Catholic schools in the greater Boise area that combine to participate in the Intervalley Athletic League. Participating schools include St. Paul’s, St. Mark’s, St. Mary’s, St. Joseph’s, St. Ignatius, and Sacred Heart Catholic Schools.
