Our athletic program is a co-op between our school, St. Agatha in New Athens (our parish partnership school), and St. John the Baptist School in Smithton. The school is a member of the Southern Illinois Junior High School Athletic Association which allows us to compete at higher levels of competition with public schools in the area in addition to Catholic schools in the Diocese.
Fundraisers that support the athletic department include: The Annual Golf Tournament Trivia Night

The Annual Hoopin’ for the Holidays is a charitable event sponsored by St. Joseph School, Freeburg Elementary School, and Freeburg High School. Funds raised from the event are donated to the Freeburg Food and Clothing Bank, and CESNA (the food and clothing bank in New Athens.
