With over 60 clubs, honor societies, and leadership organizations, PVI students have every opportunity to become the confident, well-rounded leaders they are called to be.
PVI students Grow in Grace and Wisdom beyond the school day by participating in an array of extracurricular activities. These programs exist at Paul VI to meet the needs and interests of our diverse student population. All clubs, honor societies, and leadership groups are moderated by faculty and staff members. Each fall, students are invited to a club fair to learn about and sign up for clubs. Students are also welcome to create new clubs based on their interests and simply need to coordinate with a faculty/staff moderator to start the process. At Paul VI, we encourage our students to be lifelong learners and pursue their interests, talents, and hobbies!
