Clubs

St. Ann’s Catholic School has a “House System” in middle school. Through this House System, the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are divided amongst five houses: St. Bernadette, St. Blaise, St. Cecilia, St. Jude, St. Luke, St. Joan of Arc, and St. Michael. The students are assigned to their house at the beginning of sixth grade and remain until they graduate. The system creates opportunities for students to develop relationships with those in other grade levels, participate in Works of Mercy that help others, and create a sense of accountability and responsibility

Our Student Ambassadors are exemplary middle schoolers (sixth through eighth) who represent the very best of our St. Ann’s School community. Selected for their outstanding character, leadership qualities, and commitment to our school's values, these ambassadors play a crucial role in fostering positive relationships and promoting a welcoming environment.

Role and Responsibilities:  Student Ambassadors serve as liaisons between students, faculty, and the broader community. They participate in various school events, offer tours to prospective families, engage in outreach activities, and embody the spirit of St. Ann's through their actions and words. They inspire others to strive for excellence and represent our school at both school and church functions.

Qualifications and Selection: Student Ambassadors must maintain passing grades in all subjects and at least an 85 in conduct. Each ambassador must have two letters of recommendation from current or former teachers. They are chosen for their exceptional role modeling, leadership qualities, and responsible, respectful behavior both in and out of school.
