Student activities & Clubs

St. Mary’s Academy encourages students to participate in student organizations in addition to pursuing their academic work. Extracurricular activities provide students with opportunities for leadership, cooperation, performance, and service and help them develop friendships, explore their talents, contribute to the community, and have fun. Most activities are open to all, though some clubs require an invitation based on specific criteria, and others have a selection process. 

St. Mary’s faculty moderate, sponsor, and mentor all activities and clubs, but students drive the scope, program, and purpose.

House System

Discover Connection and Community Through Our House System

Want to know the secret to our vibrant school spirit? It’s the St. Mary’s Academy House System! Studies show that House systems create genuinely happier students, and we see that joy, camaraderie, and enthusiasm in action every single day.

Our House System transforms the school experience from a standard school day into an unforgettable journey by offering:

  • An Instant Support Network: Walking into a new school can be daunting, but no one walks alone here. New students acclimate quickly, shedding those first-day jitters and finding a welcoming home right away.
  • Leadership & Personal Growth: We expand horizons by providing unique leadership roles and a variety of ways to get involved. Whether a student’s passions lie in academics, the arts, or community service, there is a place for them to lead and shine.
  • Cross-Grade Mentorship: By breaking the student body into smaller, vertical communities, we bridge the gap between grade levels. Younger students find approachable mentors, while older students learn the value of guiding and encouraging their peers.
  • A Culture of Belonging: Beyond sports and traditional clubs, our Houses build an inclusive environment where every individual is known, valued, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Earn Your Points!

Every Bobcat plays a vital part in our success. Our Houses love a little friendly competition, and students earn points throughout the year to lead their House to victory. You can contribute to your House’s legacy through:Academic Excellence & Classroom EffortShowcasing Good Character & IntegrityFine Arts & Sporting Event AttendanceSchool Spirit Days & Special TournamentsStep into a tradition that builds relationships, shapes character, and ignites a lifelong pride in St. Mary’s Academy!


Rooted in our identity as St. Mary’s Academy, each of our four Houses is proudly named after a holy Marian apparition, connecting our school’s heritage directly to our student community.

When students join the SMA family, they are randomly assigned to one of these four Houses, with siblings always placed together to keep the family tradition alive! We kick off every academic year with our highly anticipated annual House Induction, a vibrant celebration where we officially welcome new students into their lifelong House communities. To seal their new bond and show off their team pride, every student receives an official class shirt in their signature House color.
