Clubs and Activities
At Albertus Magnus High School, clubs are student-led to offer opportunities for artistic expression, leadership and creativity.

Student Theatre Alliance At Albertus, this group of talented students put on an entire show. For Fall 2026, the play is Beauty and the Beast with Soraya Miller '27 and Amelie Quintana '27 as co-directors/producers. Auditions will begin the week of August 24th.

Stage Crew Working as one, the stage crew blends engineering skill, creative design, and precise timing to keep every moment of a production running smoothly. Each member’s contribution is critical—whether building sets, managing cues, or adjusting lights—and together, they form the backbone of the show. Without their teamwork and commitment, the magic on stage would never reach the audience.
