AthleticsThe goal of our athletic program is to provide our students with learning opportunities that can be found in few other venues of life. At Saint Isaac Jogues, we believe that healthy athletic competition and high moral standards complement each other.The SIJ Athletic Program offers interscholastic teams for boys and girls in grades five through eight. Participation in the SIJ Athletic Program is a privilege, not a right. Student-athletes are expected to abide by the school’s code of conduct. Moreover, student-athletes must meet the school’s Academic Standards for Athletic Participation. The following sports are offered at St. Isaac Jogues and are covered by the Athletic Guidelines.
