Clubs and Extracurricular

At St. John Bosco High School we offer more than 20 clubs and student organizations, various student publications, and more than 37 separate athletic teams for students to choose from to develop their own unique talents.

The Oratory

The Oratory was opened in 2004 by Brother Noel and Jim Woods '65. It was established as a “safe haven” for St. John Bosco High School students who arrive early in the morning. It offers morning tutoring, games and activities (pool, ping pong), ESPN and local news. Students may purchase food in the Oratory after school; profits are used to purchase/maintain equipment and supplies.

    • 6:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.
    • 2:40 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Oratory is truly a Home, School, Church and Playground for our students

Associated Student Body (ASB)

In order to promote school spirit and provide democratic organization to advance and finance student activities, the students of St. John Bosco High School promote mutual respect between faculty, students and the greater Bosco community. The Bosco Associated Student Body Executive Board serve as representatives for the student body with proper regard for the legally constituted limits of authority for the ASB as stated in the student body constitution.

The ASB executive board and student leaders organize and coordinate more than 100 activities and events each year. The faculty and administration know that students are the heart of the school community and therefore encourage student input and feedback at every opportunity.
