The Interact Club is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people. The club gives members the opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects. Members develop their leadership skills and integrity. Members demonstrate helpfulness and respect for others. Our club is sponsored by Mid-Island Rotary and has been part of the school since 2004-2005.

The club is very active helping the Staten Island community by assisting with food drives and clothing drives, supporting The American Cancer Society with Making Strides and Relay for Life campaigns. In October, the club participates in the JDRF Walk and Making Strides against Breast Cancer. In December, members take the plunge in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge. With the help of the Mid-Island Rotary club, the members go into NYC in January/February to help feed and clothe the homeless on the streets. In the spring the club holds its Annual International Night, which helps fund the club’s Brandon O’Connor Memorial Scholarship in honor of a student who passed away. The scholarship is awarded to a current member of the graduating class who exhibits outstanding academics, sportsmanship, character and commitment to St. Peter’s. The 2016-2017 winner was Jack Shashaty.
