 We want students to use athletics at St. Paul to serve as a vehicle to make healthy life decisions. - All student athletes will sign a team drug and alcohol contract and will be asked to help promote a student driven initiative that is being developed as we speak about appropriate use of social media.

 We hold our students to a high standard and need your help in modeling those behaviors.  Last year our athletic participation rate was @ nearly 80% of the entire student body.  If as a community everyone involved is not working toward the same goal; “To Be A Truly Great Catholic High School” it will be difficult to achieve.

 Creating a welcoming environment @ SP.  Modeling sportsmanship when at away games.  Officials – I understand that officials do not always make the right call but please keep in mind that we need them in order to play our games. There is a shortage of officials in CT.  Please view - Parent Athlete Video - CAAD - Clip
