The philosophy of the Campus Life program at Moreau Catholic High School centers on the belief that the education of the whole student is paramount to facilitating a successful learning experience. In keeping with the Holy Cross tradition, we feel that exposure to a variety of co-curricular programs and activities expands the opportunity to educate the hearts and minds of our students. Students at Moreau Catholic High School will be exposed to a wide range of clubs, including social, cultural, academic, and service-oriented organizations.
Every year, clubs fill out an application, which allows current clubs to renew their charter and provides students with the opportunity to start new clubs on an annual basis. In September, the school holds the “Join a Club Fair,” where students can sign up for clubs and get more information on each organization. For more information on individual clubs, please contact the club moderator.
