    Co-Curriculars

    Please see the Gibbons Co-Curricular page for details on all our co-curricular programs.

    Cardinal Gibbons High School believes that what happens before and after school is not "extra" at all, so we call our engagement opportunities "co-curricular" and not "extracurricular".

    Gibbons educators and students collaborate on a incredible range of activities covering the entire spectrum of potential student interests. Maybe your student is into the arts or media studies, or maybe they are into gaming (of all kinds!), or maybe they may want to build robots, or fly drones. Do they want to go deeper into academic topics, and explore books and writing, or learn (and do!) more with physics, biology or math? Do they want to explore their faith, and live out our mission to serve our Church and community?

    At Gibbons, all this -- and much more! -- is available through our co-curricular programs. 

    If you have further questions about any of our programs, please contact the moderator via their email address, found on the respective program page.
