Extra-Curricular Opportunities
Students participate in a wide range of clubs. From spirit clubs such as Lion Lunatics to Spanish Club and award winning programs such as Mock Trial, Robotics, eSports, Drama, Band and school publications, there is something for everyone.
Our student athletes compete on 50 athletic teams at the freshman, JV and Varsity levels. We proudly support our many gifted athletes as they pursue excellence in post-season competition. In 2022, our volleyball team brought the OHSAA Division II championship to NDCL!
As we work toward a more just society, our Campus Ministry offers many and varied opportunities for our students to make a difference in our world. Our young men and women organize food, diaper and book drives, feed the homeless each Tuesday, provide support and companionship to the special needs community, and visit with the elderly. Each year, our young men and women find new ways to reach out and together, they are transforming the world!
