3. Activities
St. Louis U. High hopes to aid the total development of its students. While
academic excellence is a hallmark of this school, SLUH's commitment to a
diverse program of student activities as important avenues for growth is one of
its most distinguishing characteristics. SLUH programs of sports, clubs, and
activities aim to be truly co-curricular, a partner to the academics which
support and advance the goals of the curriculum.
Many students have a real need for some other opportunities, areas in which
they can excel, develop healthy self-esteem, make friends, learn or give
expression to their talents and beliefs. St. Louis U. High has a commitment to
student activities to such a degree that it calls these co-curriculars. While the
primary mission of this Jesuit high school is academic and spiritual, student
activities are seen as necessary and important avenues for growing in either
area. SLUH student activities give each student a chance to find out more
about himself, to begin relationships with a diverse group of others, to explore
concretely where his talents and interests lie, to develop those talents he
chooses, to live out strongly-held convictions and to give service to others.
