Our student athletes compete on 49 athletic teams at the freshman, JV and Varsity levels. We proudly support our many gifted athletes as they pursue excellence in post-season competition.  In 2014 and 2015, our volleyball team brought the OHSAA Division II championship to NDCL!  
 
As we work toward a more just society, our Campus Ministry offers many and varied opportunities for our students to make a difference in our world.  In recent years, students have taken mission trips to Nicaragua, Jamaica and a Native American reservation in North Dakota.  Annually, our students participate in a hands-on work camp in Appalachia.
 
Locally, our young men and women organize food and book drives, feed the homeless, tutor elementary school students and visit with the elderly.  Students for Peace and Justice (STPJ) pray for those imprisoned while others attend the March for Life. Each year, our young men and women find new ways to reach out and together, they are transforming the world!
