Crusaders Shine Through Service:
B.E.S.T. Club Leads with Heart and Action
| | |
From making bracelets to encourage children bravely battling cancer, to warmly welcoming home our nation’s veterans, Tampa Catholic’s Blessed Edmund Society of Tampa (B.E.S.T.) Club continues to embody Gospel truth through service and leadership. These student leaders model the spirit of Christian Brothers by dedicating their time and compassion to those in need, right here in Tampa Bay.
If your child is looking for meaningful ways to serve the community, encourage them to connect with Mrs. Jina Masters '95 and visit their X2VOL dashboard.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to detectable heart conditions.
That’s why Tampa Catholic High School is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Who We Play For to provide our youth the opportunity to get their heart checked with a FREE electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart screening will take place on Monday October 6, 2025 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Tampa Catholic High School training room.
Every student can sign up for a screening online by clicking the button below:

The TC Marine Science Club will be going to the Florida Keys from March 14th-March 16th 2026 (the first weekend of Spring Break)! During this trip, we will be staying at the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute (also known as Seacamp) on Big Pine Key and participating in marine adventures. We will be learning about sharks, sea turtles, coral reefs, mangrove ecosystems, nighttime sky navigation, and more! Activities include snorkeling on coral reefs, wading through seagrass beds, exploring the mangroves, snorkeling with bonnethead and nurse sharks, and campfires!
There will be a parent-student interest meeting THIS TUESDAY September 23rd at 5:30pm in the Learning Lab. Parents can pay the $150 non-refundable deposit at the link below, and students can fill out the application also linked below. All students are welcome to apply, but if necessary, priority will be given to students who have paid Marine Science Club dues.
Deposits are due October 1st: https://payit.nelnet.net/form/rwR7yAq6
Application: https://forms.gle/HmjGZtZ9hwj3JiwR9
The all-inclusive cost of the trip is $1,000 ($150 deposit + $850 due by a later date) and covers all meals, snacks, snorkel gear, rooms, travel to and from the Keys, and activities. The only additional money would be for a souvenir from the camp’s gift store. Payment plans will be available through the school.
If you have any questions, please email Ms. Lizzie Garcia.
