While scholarship is and must always be the primary aim of a college preparatory education, such qualities as loyalty, dependability, initiative, leadership and cooperation are integral attributes of a truly educated man. Moreover, special abilities and talents, if developed, are important and useful assets to the student and the common good.
Student organizations offer a wide range of activities for such development.
The Borromean Chapter of the National Honor Society consists of sophomores, juniors and seniors elected by faculty vote for their qualities of scholarship, leadership, character and service to the school. The Student Council is made up of elected representatives from the student body who serve as a liaison between faculty and students and plan charitable, cultural, social and athletic programs and activities for the school. The Carolian is the official school newspaper, written and edited by the students, and is designed to further interest in writing, self-expression and intercommunication. The Stagecrafters presents major theater productions each year which are open to the public and provide valuable experience in speech, music and art. The Science Club provides opportunities for students especially interested in science to expand and enrich their knowledge through trips and projects.
