Clubs

Each year a very select group of TC students are invited to be Student Ambassadors for the school. Their first task is to attend a training workshop held the Saturday before school starts. At the workshop the students learn how to be effective in their new role.

The Ambassador Program challenges the students to promote Tampa Catholic and assist with welcoming visitors to our campus during major events including Open House and the Crusader for a Day program. Ambassadors also help with orientation for transfer students and other hospitality events throughout the year.

Art Club is a place where current art students, former art students and those who have never even taken a class, but are interested in art can come to enrich themselves and hone their artistic skills. Students work on individual projects that they can keep. We work with various media to expose students to new experiences. Come be creative in Art Club!

A crucial element to Catholic education is being exposed to and living out Christian service. The Blessed Edmund Society of Tampa, or BEST, is Tampa Catholic's student-run leadership organization dedicated to serving the marginalized in and around Tampa Bay. This group, modeled after the founder of the Christian Brothers, is composed of Crusaders that have a heart for dedicating their time to initiatives and missions that support Gospel truth.  

Tampa Catholic hosts 4 Blood Drives per year. The student body and faculty at Tampa Catholic are known for the spirit of giving. Last year alone Tampa Catholic donated enough blood to save more than 300 lives.

While the TC family does not donate to receive t-shirts, sodas and pizza, it is a nice perk we enjoy with every donation. Save a life, donate a pint!

Each year this group works hard to promote school spirit by bringing students, faculty, staff and alumni together and supporting the athletes of our Tampa Catholic family. The Green Locos sponsor pep assemblies, cheers at games, and are one of the driving spirit forces behind school pride. There are two important aspects of a successful Spirit Club: a really pumped up student body and good planning! From the fun series of events of a pep rally to the signs posted all over the school, its the Green Locos that pull it off flawlessly. Locos are keeping the spirited traditions alive at Tampa Catholic.
