Athletics

More than 70 percent of students participate in athletics, learning to strike a strong balance between athletic development and academic responsibilities.  

We offer 14 sports across fall, winter, and spring seasons, with 35+ teams competing at the varsity, junior varsity, freshman, and Academy levels. Our faculty and coaches help student-athletes reach their potential through dedication, teamwork, discipline, and respect. 

During the 2024-2025 academic year, 19 seniors - 11 percent of the class - committed to play at colleges and universities. Many of our alumni go on to play at the highest level of their sport (MLB, NBA, NFL). Our athletes compete in the Detroit Catholic High School League and Michigan High School Athletic Association, while the Academy is part of the Catholic Youth Organization.
