School Notes

St. Petersburg Catholic High School is a Christ-centered, co-ed college preparatory school rooted in a firm foundation of Catholic faith, family, tradition, and excellence.

St. Petersburg Catholic High School students benefit from an active campus life outside the classroom. Athletes compete on 26 varsity sports teams for both boys and girls.
Academic Interest: Students explore their intellectual passions more deeply through organizations such as Great Books, Robotics Club, Model United Nations, DECA and 9 academic honor societies.
Convocation: The school community prays together, recites the pledge allegiance to the flag, and hears motivational words from SPCHS alumni, community leaders, students, faculty, and staff. Most of our speakers tell their own story through the lens of our core virtues: authenticity, compassion, fortitude, humility, and wisdom. In doing this, students have been able to comprehend what living out the virtues truly looks like, through the witness of speakers that possess them.
Faith: Retreats are planned and led by student members of the Senior Leadership Honors students who provide their peers guidance for essential personal growth. Students participate in liturgies. Campus Ministry has an active presence on campus that seeks to provide spiritual support, community outreach, and a sense of belonging for students of all backgrounds. Rooted in Catholic faith, Campus Ministry is open to students of all religious beliefs and offers a safe space to discuss spiritual questions, engage in service projects, and foster connections with peers.
Service: Students serve both the school and the local community through their focus on promoting life issues rooted in Catholic social teaching by fulfilling service hours yearly.
Performing and Fine Arts: Students engaged in the arts find additional opportunities to pursue their artistries through the Art Club, Praise Band and the Yearbook.
