8th grade is a special year with additional leadership roles on campus and induction into the National Beta Club for service and scholarship.  There are numerous field trips, including visits to local Catholic high schools, a science lab at iFly, a mock trial at South Texas College of Law and  a capstone experience in Washington, D.C.
