Did you know Harry Leland recently retired after almost 40 years of coaching here at Butler Catholic?

We are still very active in the PJAS Competitions.  Our students continue to take first and second places.  A new program introduced has been Robotics.  This is still a new program but each competition we participate in, our scores are getting better.  We were one-point away from the team award this past year.

Did you also know that we now offer 3 language class opportunities.  Kindergarten thru 5th grade participates actively in Spanish lessons.  6th grade has a semester of Spanish and a semester of French.  In 7th grade, the students can choose a language (Spanish, French or Latin) so that over a 2 year period they can earn high school credit.

We've added a preschool program for both 3 year and 4 year olds. 

The Forensics (Public Speaking) Program is open to students 5th thru 8th.  Students prepare readings in six different areas and present in 3 different tournaments per year.  We are members of the South Western Pennsylvania Forensics League.

Although we have participated in the Challenge of Champions for many years, We have also hosted this event sponsored by Midwestern Intermediate Unit 4 on site on several occasions.

Students in 7th & 8th Grade now have the opportunity to take a cooking class.  And it's done with the times in mind.  They research to find a recipe online and how to prepare before actually making it into the kitchen and whipping up something great!

In the 2010-2011 School Year - Track was added as a sports opportunity.
