Cultivating Faith, Leadership, and Excellence Through Extracurriculars at RCS
At Resurrection Christian School (RCS), we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child—academically, spiritually, and socially. One of the most impactful ways we accomplish this is through our robust extracurricular programs that provide students from kindergarten through 12th grade with opportunities to explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and strengthen their faith. Whether on the field, on stage, or in service, these activities encourage our students to live out our core value of being boldly Christian in every aspect of life.
Elementary School: Building Foundations with Faith and Fun
Our elementary extracurriculars provide a strong foundation for learning, teamwork, and creative expression.
-
Lego Club and STEM Club allow young minds to engage in hands-on, problem-solving activities that foster creativity and innovation.
-
Battle of the Books and Chess Club help sharpen critical thinking and analytical skills while encouraging a love for learning.
-
5th Grade Run Club and Fit Club promote healthy habits and discipline, helping students build both physical and mental endurance.
-
Elementary Theater introduces students to the arts, giving them the confidence to express themselves and work collaboratively.
Through these programs, our youngest Cougars develop essential life skills while learning that their talents are gifts from God to be used to honor Him.
Middle School: Shaping Leaders with a Heart for Service
Middle school is a pivotal time when students begin to grow into their identity as servant leaders. RCS provides a range of extracurriculars that foster leadership and character development:
-
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and Student Council encourage students to lead by example and serve their peers with integrity.
-
Ultimate Cougar Program challenges middle schoolers to strive for excellence in academics, service, and spiritual growth. To earn this distinguished award, students must maintain a GPA above 3.0 or meet their MAP growth goal, complete at least 10 service hours, and demonstrate faith through a personal essay and a letter of recommendation from a pastor or small group leader. Through these rigorous requirements, students learn to integrate their faith into their academic, personal, and community lives.
-
Our middle school athletics program offers a variety of sports, including football, volleyball, basketball, cross country, wrestling, and golf, where students learn discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.
These opportunities empower middle school students to embrace leadership and service as they grow in their faith and confidence.
High School: Living Boldly in Faith and Action
High school is where RCS students truly learn to be boldly Christian in their actions and choices. Our diverse extracurricular offerings provide platforms for students to lead, serve, and excel:
-
Key Club, Student Leadership, and National Honor Society (NHS) instill a heart for service and leadership rooted in biblical principles.
-
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) encourages athletes to integrate their faith with their passion for sports, reminding them to glorify God in all they do.
-
Speech & Debate, Disc Golf, and a variety of high school sports—from football and volleyball to lacrosse and tennis—allow students to challenge themselves, work with others, and build resilience.
These programs equip high schoolers to be strong ambassadors for Christ, both in their communities and beyond.
