| Activities |
The freshmen begin the year with a series of events which provide opportunities for the class members to get to know each other and have fun. Then at Halloween the whole school is in costume for a costume contest, games at lunchtime, and trick or treating at selected classrooms. The juniors have a chance to shine at the Junior Ring Ceremony and reception. In December mothers and their senior daughters gather at the school for the elegant Mother-Daughter Tea. Spirit Week is always the highlight of the school year with spirited competition between the classes. Elaborate hall decorations, skits, dress-up contests and fundraising activities all are judged to see which class is the most spirited.

On a Saturday in November, students accompany their dads, granddads or step-dads to the Father-Daughter Dance for dance contests, snacks and an evening of fun. Winter Ball, held jointly with several other Catholic high schools in the East Bay, is always a highlight of the season.
