CYO Sports
The guiding mission of CYO is to afford parish and school students the opportunity for our youth to use their God-given talents to play sports, while at the same time carrying out the ministry of Jesus Christ.CYO is a parish-based ministry and St. James Regional draws families from multiple parishes. Accordingly, St. James Regional does not have a school-affiliated CYO program, but our students participate in CYO sports through their home parishes. We are proud of our student-athletes and celebrate their athletic pursuits, as St. James students and beyond! For more information, please refer to the home parish sites below.

Our Student Council raises money and awareness for various charities through dress down days in which all money collected goes towards a charity, hosts a Thanksgiving Food Drive, helps the St. James High School Alumni Association with their turkey and toy drives, and plans a Rock Your Socks for Down Syndrome day in March. Student Council members also serve as ambassadors for St. James Regional by helping with school Open Houses and providing tours for prospective students.
Student Council is open to students in grades 1 through 8.
