Spiritually

Students receive daily Religion instructions.  A sense of peace and justice permeates curriculum discussions.  Active participation in several liturgies and prayer services throughout the year, prepares students to carry on the stewardship necessary for our future church.

Physically

Each week students, Pre-Kindergarten through 8^th grade, have gym class.  A quality physical education instructor teaches physical fitness, at age-appropriate levels.  Students are given daily outdoor recess, and the choice of purchasing the Archdiocesan Hot Lunch Program each day.

Socially 

Students at St. Maria Goretti School participate in several extracurricular clubs and organizations: student council, National Junior Beta Club (honor roll club), scouting, band, and the sports program.  Many activities, projects, and events are initiated by these organizations for St. Maria Goretti students.  Several of our clubs also reach-out to actively involved students from other local schools as well.

Competitive Sports Program

To offer students positive social interaction, as well as to develop the skills and discipline necessary for team sports, the Athletic Association has designed our St. Maria Goretti Sports Program.    

Students in grades 5-8 may participate in volleyball and basketball.  Both boys and girls have the opportunity to play  competitively in league games.
