Extra-curricular by a strict definition means “outside of the curriculum,” but at St. John Vianney the reality is that our activities-rich environment is co-curricular as it enhances the deep learning that is taking place in the classroom.  The list of co-curricular opportunities is growing rapidly, so check this page often for updates.

Currently we offer the following activities:

Choir

Open to students in second through eighth grades. Practices are held weekly. Led by Principal, Mrs. McCormick.

Science Olympiad

Open to students in sixth through eighth grades. Practices are held weekly. Students compete regionally at Volunteer State Community College in February, and have competed at the state level at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville in March. Led by Middle School Science teacher, Miss Rosenblatt, and our Principal, Mrs. McCormick.
