Intramural Bowling is open to anyone who would like to bowl as an after-school activity. Students can make their own team of four and compete against other teams. While mildly competitive, it is a great way to meet new friends and enjoy some downtime after school. Intramural teams bowl on Thursday with members of the school’s Varsity Bowling team. Cost is $10 per week for 12 weeks. Students meet at Rab’s Country Lanes from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m

The St. Peter’s High School football program will prepare each young man to be the best person, student, and football player that he can be. As a member of the Eagle Football Program we will represent ourselves, our families, and the high school with dignity, integrity, and respect by always choosing to do the right thing. It is our number one priority to instill each individual that comes through our program with the characteristics to further succeed in life.

One of our goals as a team is to be able to handle ourselves mentally and physically against any opponent we face. This goal can be accomplished but you have to be willing to put forth the effort.

The JV Golf team is a “practice squad,” where all St. Peter’s golfers — experts and beginners — can come out and practice their golf game. The team practices from early May to the end of school at the Staten Island Practice Center, commonly known as “The Tanks.”

Students interested in joining JV Golf can come to meetings that are announced in the homeroom bulletin or stop by Room 402 to speak with Mr. Bonamo. Students are recommended to bring at least a putter, a driver, a wedge and an iron to the practice sessions.
