The courses of Art (which is also offered in Advanced Placement), Dance, Drama, Music and Technical Theatre are provided. The classes are course credit classes, and can be taken in either 3 credit or 5 credit.
YMCA Bishop McNally
The YMCA had formed a partnership with Bishop McNally allowing students the opportunity to sign up for a membership as well as offering existing YMCA members access to a variety of physical fitness facilities. The services are open to the public after school hours during the week and during the day each Saturday. However, a recent decision by the YMCA will mean the closure of their programmes and the ending of their relationship with the High School from 21 December 2007. Facilities for the community will continue to exist, managed by the High School.
Youth Volunteer Corps
As part of The YVC Clubs in Schools program, a sub-program of Child and Youth Friendly Calgary, Bishop McNally High School encourages students to attend weekly meetings focused on the creation of in-school volunteer activities.[3]
