St. Andrew Broadcast News

St. Andrew Catholic School offers a weekly Broadcast News. Students will have the opportunity to participate in this afterschool program, which allows them to enrich their knowledge of social broadcast productions. Students learn what it takes to create a news production, including set design, filming, scriptwriting, graphic design, and editing. This club meets twice a week throughout the school year. Weekly news announcements are posted on YouTube for homeroom teachers to play on Monday mornings.

Performing Arts

• There is an annual talent show where all students can showcase their God-given talents.

• There is an annual Middle School Play where students may display their artistic talents.

The Ensemble Elite

The Ensemble Elite is a group of students open to grades fourth through eighth. Each student volunteers their time to practice for performing at the student mass at Saint Andrew Catholic Church every Wednesday. The Ensemble Elite is invited each year to various events throughout the community due in part to their high reputation for spirited and soulful performances.
