Extracurriculars
The Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) hosts an annual competition, known as TEAMS, aimed at "challenging high school students in grades 9-12 to work together as a team to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world engineering scenarios". Priory has performed well over the years in this competition, including a national championship in 2000.
There is a Robotics Club, the Roborebels, that often does well in the annual local FIRST Robotics Competition. In 2010, the team took second place at the St. Louis Regional competition and in 2011 the team was again successful placing third.
Among Priory's extracurricular offerings is the art of calligraphy. The school has a Calligraphy Guild to which students may apply, and after demonstrating a certain level of proficiency, they may earn the title of "Master." Students can also learn the art of working with stained glass during their high school years.
In addition, Priory serves as one of two St. Louis-area sites for AIM High, a program that offers an academic and personal enrichment program for motivated middle school students from high-risk environments. The program involves Priory faculty members, parents and students.
