It is our belief that extracurricular pursuits develop interests and leadership abilities; therefore, we strongly urge our students to become involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. St. Cecilia is home to over twenty–five groups, clubs and organizations. Students are able to pursue a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, including school government, honors groups, student publications, service clubs, language clubs, and fine arts clubs. Girls who excel academically are honored with membership in the National Honor Society. Future writers organize, edit and publish the school newspaper, The Cecilian Quarterly.
