High School

Saturdays at Sauganash

Sauganash organizes activities on Saturday afternoons for high school students that foster a spirit of service, growth in friendship, and good use of free time. Activities range from sports games to cultural excursions, birthday celebrations, and visits to the homeless.  The activities include a time of prayer for those interested at 6:00 pm.  For the 2020-21 school year, to avoid large groups, most activities will be organized for individual grades.  Please contact the program director for your grade for more information about upcoming Saturday activities.
