ATHLETICS
Look at last year's results! St. Paul’s Lutheran School is a member of the Calumet Lutheran Athletic Conference (IN) and South Suburban Lutheran Athletic League (IL). The Lutheran schools belonging to these conferences provide competition for both boys’ and girls’ teams in basketball, track, girls’ volleyball and cheerleading, and boys’ soccer. Check out the latest from the Athletic Department and Booster Club! Any boy or girl of grades five through eight who passes a physical examination is eligible. When's the next game? Find out on our SP Online Calendar.

MUSIC
In addition to music in the regular curriculum of the classroom, there are many opportunities for students to experience the thrill of music through Children’s Choir (primary grades), Children of the Lord Singers (5-8th grades), Beginning Band (4th grade), Concert Band (5-8th grades), Junior Master’s Ringers Handbell Choir (6-8th grades). And our newest group – the Jazz Band! All Concert Band members are judged at the annual ISSMA competition where St. Paul's always shines. Just see last year's medal count. Students perform throughout the school year with major concerts at Christmas and at the Spring Musical in May. Download any choir’s schedule.
