It is the philosophy of St. James School that sports are an integral part of education. Organized athletic activities assist in the intellectual and physical development of the student and play a large role in developing such skills as good sportsmanship, discipline and team building. All students are encouraged to participate in sports and activities supported by the Athletics Program.

The St. James Athletic Association (SJAA) consists of members of the St. James community who wish to be involved in and focus their volunteer efforts on the sports program. The SJAA meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for such things as gym and field procurement, fundraising and assistance at sports events. Membership is open to all St. James parents and other interested adults, regardless of their child’s participation in sports.
