Clubs and Activities

Extracurricular Clubs and Honor Societies

Moore Catholic has more than 20 student clubs ranging from the school newspaper and Chamber Ensemble, to the Chess Club and Video Yearbook. Students are strongly encouraged to get involved in club activities, and new clubs may be established by students if there is sufficient interest. The diverse range of activities offers opportunities for developing new interests and skills and fosters socialization across grade levels.
