Community is at the heart of everything we do

From dedicated parents, caregivers, and alumni to parishioners and neighbors, Northside Catholic Academy is supported by a vibrant and diverse community. Together, we aim to create a welcoming environment where students thrive—both inside and outside the classroom. Whether it's through school events, volunteer efforts, or neighborhood partnerships, the spirit of collaboration runs deep. 

At NCA, we believe that when we come together, everyone succeeds.

NCA Cornhole Classic (aka Toss for Tots)

Get ready to toss for a cause at NCA’s 15th Annual NCA Cornhole Classic (aka Toss for Tots) Tournament, held Saturday, September 12 at 11:00 a.m. during the Wildcat Street Fest on Glenwood Avenue.

This adults-only tournament welcomes players of every skill level—from seasoned competitors to first-time tossers. Teams will compete for bragging rights and the legendary Green Jacket, proudly worn by the reigning champions until next year’s tournament.

Registration is $50 per player or $100 per two-person team. Individuals are welcome to register, and we will match you with a partner. NCA parents may also invite friends and other non-NCA adults to join the fun. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Register for NCA Cornhole Classic

All proceeds benefit NCA’s boys’ and girls’ athletic teams and Bitty Sports programs for our youngest Wildcats.

While the adults compete, children can enjoy all the family-friendly activities at the Wildcat Street Fest, happening at the same time.

Sign up, show up and toss your way to glory!
