Fast Facts
  • We are a part of the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference and members of the Illinois High School Association
  • In a typical year, about 70% of Rosary students participate in athletics, with some competing in two or even three sports
  • Roughly 2/3 of Rosary's athletes are typically named Scholar Athletes, meaning they qualified for the honor roll during their competitive season

Scholar Athletes and College Scholarships
A Rosary Scholar Athlete is a student who is named to the honor roll during her competitive season. This achievement indicates she has successfully balanced an average of 23 hours per week of sports participation with the demands of Rosary’s high academic standards.

Through the years, Rosary athletes have been offered college scholarships and the opportunity to compete for colleges and universities of all sizes across the country. Rosary's Class of 2026 saw six graduates sign national letters of intent to continue their athletics careers.
