The school's athletic facilities include 12 outdoor tennis courts, a competition track, and a 2,000-seat football stadium with a synthetic turf field and grass fields for soccer, baseball, softball, field hockey and lacrosse. 

A portion of the sod from Busch Stadium's baseball field, which was removed to accommodate the stage for Sunday's was laid on the athletic fields and around the perimeter of the school.
