Enrichment & Extracurricular
There's more to school than sitting in the classroom. We offer students opportunities to do other activities that are fun and rewarding.
Extra Curriculum Activities
All students take courses outside of the traditional curriculum. This helps students to be well-rounded, and creative and exposes them to other areas of interest.
- Art
- Music
- Computer
- Gym
- Culture – 6th grade
- Spanish – 7th & 8th grade
Our growing extracurricular programs also provide students with learning experiences beyond the classroom:
- Student Council
- Latin Club
- Choir
- Homework Help
- Service Opportunities
After-School Homework Club
Homework Club is covered on a rotation schedule by our faculty or staff members.
Choir
Unite several voices in harmony. Our musical choir teaches the skills to make beautiful music. For those who enjoy singing, this is the place to be.
Student Snack Kart Business
Holy Name School aspires to provide its students with the best possible environment to enrich its students' learning experiences. As a result of this, new innovative programs are introduced to the students to build community, foster the need to educate, and to encourage the idea that fun and learning can go hand and hand. The eighth grade students are continuing "The Kart" business. Students will learn the fundamentals of banking and the many responsibilities that are involved with running a successful business. The profits from the sales are helping the graduating class with expenses for their trip.
CYO Basketball
Holy Name School also offers Catholic Youth Organized basketball as part of our Parish Youth activities. We encourage children from grades 4 through 8 to join our program as part of their spiritual and physical growth. We stress the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship. The season runs from November to April. There is usually one game and one practice per week. Teams from other parishes in our Diocese are our opponents. We play our regular season games at the Sullivan – McCarrick CYO Center on Anawan Street in Fall River. We will notify parents about signup through the weekly newsletter. A CYO application is available on our Forms page.
Futsal
Are you interested in participating in Futsal? Futsal (pronounced foot-sall) is a form of indoor soccer, played on a basketball court while using a smaller soccer ball. Holy Name has six different divisions made up of student’s grades pre-k to eighth. The season will run from December through March, with hour-long practices held once a week and games played on Saturdays. Please view the flyer for more information about our Futsal program.
