Eighth graders have a group known as E.G.O.(Eighth Grade Organization) which is in charge of many community service activities the school does. A.C.T.S.(Association of Catholic Teen Services) is a program that eighth graders can join which travels around the community doing acts of community service, such as visiting nursing homes, tutoring under privileged children, and many other things.
