St. Therese Athletic Association

As part of our mission to support the total child, Saint Therese School has an active athletic program for all students.  With students as young as Kindergarten invited to participate in some sports, there is something for everyone! 

There is a fee to participate in Tiger Athletics that varies by team and level.  Registration takes place in Spring for Fall sports; Fall for Winter Sports and late Winter for Spring sports.
