  About St. Charles


Groups & Clubs

While scholarship is and must always be the primary aim of a college preparatory education, such qualities as dependability, loyalty, initiative, leadership and cooperation are integral attributes of a truly educated man. Moreover, special abilities and talents, if developed, are important and useful assets to the student and the common good.

At St. Charles, the accent is on involvement. While the academic program emphasizes a broad experience of the fundamental disciplines, co-curricular offerings encourage and develop the individual talents and interests of students. Co-curricular activities cover a wide spectrum of activities and organizations and more than two-thirds of the student body participates in one.

Through their involvement with various organizations, students find both the challenge and the pleasure of working with others so that the St. Charles student leaves high school a well-rounded man.

The Student Council is made up of elected representatives from the student body who serve as a liaison between faculty and students and plan charitable, cultural, social and athletic
programs and activities for the school.

The Carolian is the official school newspaper, written and edited by the students, and is designed to further an interest in writing, self-expression and intercommunication.

The Borromean Chapter of the National Honor Society is made up of students selected for their scholarship, leadership, character and service to the school and community. Its members have in the past been involved in a number of community service projects and activities that support the CROP Walk, Light the Night Walk to support the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society and J.O.I.N. (Joint Organization for Inner-city Needs).

The St. Charles Engineering Teams have received numerous accolades and are nationally-recognized. Successes include a 2009 National Championship and several state championships.

The St. Charles In the Know Academic Quiz Team is an award-winning and nationally recognized team that competes on the televised high school quiz programs and at national competitions.

The Environmental Club is involved with activities such as the Fall Campus Cleanup, Alum Creek clean-ups, and running the school's recycling program. The club has made possible the placement of an Abitibi Dumpster at St. Charles for the recycling of paper products.

The Ski Club gives students the opportunity to take part in ski trips during the winter under faculty supervision.

The Chess Team sponsors intramural tournaments and competes regularly with other high school teams.

Other St. Charles activity goups Include: The Ultimate Frisbee Club and The Interact Club.

Elephant’s Graveyard is the true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny town in
