Your Address for Outreach Opportunities
Roanoke Catholic School provides a wide variety of activities so that students may explore their interests and develop their skills. These organizations include the Student Government Association; the student newspaper, The Celtic Crier; the literary magazine, Shanachie; the yearbook, The Key; the Kiwanis Key Club, and a variety of other clubs based on student interest.
One such example is Roanoke Catholic’s Key Club, an international student-led organization that gives its members opportunities to provide service, build character, and develop leadership. Service projects that the Roanoke Catholic Key Club annually coordinate or participate in include the production of Christmas fruit baskets to assist Manna Ministries, fall leaf raking for needy area residents, the Crop Walk, Greenway clean-up, Soup for Seniors, and drives to benefit both local food banks and a Catholic school in Haiti.
Arts & Culture
Roanoke Catholic nurtures artistic expression through Theater, Dance, Choir, Band, Visual Arts, and Engineering/3D Printing classes. The arts are extremely important to the growth of young people, and the wonderful thing about the theatre is that it includes all of the arts in one! All people need a creative outlet to express themselves.
Statistics show that students successfully finishing a theatre or speech class are over 50% more likely to be successful in college and the workforce. The drama program at Roanoke Catholic is a taste of everything the Theatre Arts have to offer. From acting to directing, play writing to the world of technical theatre, costume designers, scenic, lighting, sound, props, and more is included.
