Catholic Schools Student Life
Diocese of Des Moines Catholic Schools offer extracurricular programs that empower students to discover teamwork, responsibility, dedication and good sportsmanship. If you walk the halls of our Catholic schools, you’ll discover not just a great learning environment, but also an opportunity to form lifelong friendships with students and families who have the same values, aspirations and desires to advance the common good. This is a reflection of our great culture and our wholesome student life environment.
Additionally, these enrichment activities help develop student interests and talents. Activities, athletics and enrichment opportunities vary by school. Below are some of the many opportunities for our students to get involved outside of the classroom.
