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